The Unplugged Learning Project encourages all Avon kids to walk to school, following these guidelines:
Apr 29th, 2009 by admin
- First, understand the school rules for walking to school
- invite neighbors and kids in nearby neighborhoods, or those along your walking route, to join you. Do not walk alone.
- if you must cross a busy road, have a grown-up be your leader
- using a map, plan the safest route to school
- always walk on the left side of the street (facing oncoming cars)
- walk single file on busy streets and on sidewalks, or inside the white bike lane
- Stop at all stop signs and cross streets as a group*
* leaders should wear reflective safety vests if they will be crossing busy intersections.
