Walk and Roll Club for 2013-2014

The Walk and Roll Club is back with new events and backpack charms!

Join the monthly Walk and Roll Wednesdays by walking or cycling to school. Stop by the front of the school to collect backpack charms. Walk or bike to school on your own or join a walking school bus from the Train Station or DiRenzo Park. Walking Buses leave at 8 am. Be sure to thank our crossing guards who are out there no matter what the weather. 

Why walk or bike to school?
There are multiple benefits of walking and bicycling including:
  • increasing physical activity
  • teaching safe pedestrian and bicycling skills to students
  • awareness of how walkable and bikeable our community is and where improvements can be made
  • reducing traffic congestion, pollution and motor vehicle speed near schools
  • arriving awake and ready to learn which leads to improved test scores

Walk & Roll Club and
Walk-a-Thon

October’s monthly walk and roll club coincides with our fundraiser "Too Cool To Do Drugs!" walk-a-thon. Those who walk or ride to school will earn extra laps towards their walk-a-thon total. Help support our kids by collecting pledges and walking or biking to school.

October is International Walk to School Month (iWalk). In celebration, Northern NJ SafeKids and FedEx will be in the font of the school to teach pedestrian safety. Walk to school early for a chance to walk through a FedEx truck and pick up pedestrian safety items.

Bring your Walk & Roll Club card or pick one up in front of the school on Wednesday morning. Those who joined our Cat Walk in September received a backpack token. Join us in October for a new token to add to your collection.

Walk on your own or join one of our 3 walking school buses.

Join up at 7:50 am at the following meeting points or meet the walking "bus" along their route. See "walking school bus" tab above for a route map.

  • Route 1 meets at Cross Street & Amendola
  • Route 2 meets at DiRenzo Park
  • Route 3 meets at Netcong Heights apartments
