🚶‍♀️🚲🛴 WALK & ROLL TO SCHOOL! 🌿

Wednesday, October 7 is National Walk & Roll to School Day! Sycamore is joining thousands of schools across the country in celebrating the benefits of walking, biking, and scooting to school. 💚

Students who walk or roll will receive a sticker and be asked to share their estimated distance traveled. If you live farther away, consider meeting up with a nearby family and walking together!

📅 Upcoming dates:
Oct. 7 • Nov. 18 • Dec. 16 • Jan. 20 • Feb. 17 • Mar. 3 • Apr. 7 • May 5 🚲

🙋 Want to help? We need volunteers that morning to hand out stickers and tally miles. Contact Cathey Suen at [email protected].
