Welcome back to school! We are excited to start walking and rolling to school – and anywhere – this year! This September, we challenge you to meet up with a buddy or buddies to walk or roll to school for fun, connection, and safety in numbers! Form a group with two or more students from neighboring families to walk (or park & walk), scooter, bike, carpool, or ride the bus together. Then, tell us your success story so we can share it to inspire others! We will select five Buddy Success Stories to highlight in our newsletter, and will award $50.00 to each of the winning Meet-Up Buddy Groups.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
- Download the September Buddy Meet Up Challenge Sheet English (PDF) Spanish (PDF) English (JPEG) Spanish (JPEG)
- You can also share your Success Story HERE
- We can't wait to hear all about how you connected with others to walk or roll to school!
- Submit your completed Challenge Sheet to Safe Routes to School on our online form at the link above, or email us answers to the Buddy Meet Up questions, by Wednesday, October 8th.
Buddy Meet Up Winners will be shared in October
