That's right, Patriots! You can join the Walking School Bus and get in on all the fun, walking, and of course, eco- spirit! For those of you who do not know, The Walking School Bus is a program set up by the Earthkeepers to increase the number of students walking to school. Our Grade Sevens and Eights are the leaders of the Walking School Bus, and they walk around the neighbourhood in five different routes every morning. All our Patriots have to do is simply join in when the Leaders are on your street! The Walking School Bus is a great way for students to walk to school with friends, meet new Patriots, get fresh air, and help save the environment by reducing the number of cars polluting the air! Parents are always welcome to walk with their kids, because adults need exercise too!
The Walking School Bus is Walking Every Day!
The Walking School Bus is now operating every day! With five different routes, students and their parents can walk to school everyday alongside our passionate leaders. The Walking School Bus is walking everyday, so get ready to get your walk on!
The Walking Coachbus Challenge!
This past Walk-tober, Mr. Kennedy challenged all Vimy Patriots to an 8 kilometre walking challenge. Students met at 7 am at Ajax Rotary Park, and walked all the way back to Vimy Ridge. More than 50 students participated to promote active living and saving the planet. Way to go Patriots! Photos below.
