Safe Routes to School – Walk at School

During the month of October, Wellness Teachers at McGovern and Memorial Schools have been organizing a Walk to School in partnership with Safe Routes to School.

This event for Memorial School is on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, with a rain date of Thursday, October 29, 2026.

Classroom teachers will sign up each class up for a time to walk around our school grounds. At intervals, there will be places for classes to stop and read information about the benefits of walking and spending time outdoors. Teachers and students are also encouraged to engage in brief discussions about the information presented and will be provided with optional extension activities to complete with their class, if time permits. The walk is about ½ mile and will take classes about 15-20 minutes each.

We would like to invite all community members to find a safe route to walk near home or work, and spend about 15-20 minutes walking on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 or Thursday, October 29, 2026.

If you would like to learn more about the benefits of walking and spending time outdoors, you can read the same information as the students by viewing these slides.

Thank you for joining this community event from wherever you are!

Welcome Back!!! Our school year 2026-2027 is underway!!!

In the beginning of the year, it is still fairly warm outside, then, as the days grow cooler, would you please remind your children to come prepared to be outside for our classes.  Students are welcome to bring their hats, sunglasses, sweatshirts/ jackets to class. Those items will help our students to be comfortable during class. The grade-level teachers have also been asked to remind their students to bring those items to class.

Wellness classes at Memorial School will be held outside throughout the months of September and October (and again in the Spring) unless the weather and/or field conditions require us to hold class indoors. Classes will go outside if the temperature is chilly and if the field is a little damp.

Students should be prepared for Wellness class with:

• proper footwear (sneakers are strongly recommended; flat-bottom shoes that cover the toes and that can attach behind the heel are allowed)

• a filled water bottle

• anything else they feel they need for class (such as a sweatshirt or coat if it is chilly - especially in the mornings; a hat or sunglasses if it is sunny; etc)

As the grass is often damp in the mornings, students with Wellness class in the mornings may want to have an extra pair of shoes and/or socks with them, to change into after Wellness class.
