Safe Routes to School – Walk to 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 16, 2024, with a rain date of Thursday, October 17, 2024.

Classroom teachers have signed 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. 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 family members to find a safe route to walk near home or work, and spend about 15-20 minutes walking on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 or Thursday, October 17, 2024.

If you would like to learn more about the benefits of walking, 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 new school year has begun very well. The weather is beautiful, so we will be going outside. Our students, if they would like to,  are welcome to wear sweatshirts/jackets. sunglasses, hats etc... as the weather changes. Could you please remind your child to being those items to class, if they choose to. 

Our first units are the outside Manipulatives Units -- throwing overhand/catching, kicking, punting, dribbling with feet, working cooperatively with a buddy or in a small cooperative group.
