Walk or Bike to School Day

Wednesday,

October 8th, 2025

We walk together to take care of our bodies, our environment, and our neighborhood by promoting fitness, pedestrian and cyclist safety, and reducing traffic. On Wednesday, October 8th, 2025, we learned more about safety, shared our favorite benefits of walking & rolling to school, and earned prizes by demonstrating our safety knowledge. Although the weather did not cooperate for a walk together, we shared valuable knowledge to keep us safe as we walk, ride, and roll safely each day. We will continue to expand our knowledge about the benefits of exercise, and practice pedestrian and cyclist safety throughout the year in a variety of fun ways.

Special thanks to the Greater Mercer TMA Safe Routes to School program for providing excellent resources and learning opportunities, and continuing to support our Slackwood community again this year.

Happy New School Year!

Thank you for joining us for our Back to School Bonanza 2025!

It was such a pleasure to meet so many of our Slackwood families!

Special Events to look forward to:

Family Fitness Nights: Evenings where we invite families to enjoy fun activities with our students to promote health and fitness both at school and at home- wear your sneakers and be ready to have fun being active together with our friends and families. More information to come later in the year.

Kids Heart Challenge: Heart healthy lessons and activities with optional fundraising for the American Heart Association. More information to come in January.

Field Day: parents and guardians can volunteer to help run stations for the children to use teamwork and skills to enjoy many fun activities out on our field- ALL children get to participate during the school day, but we'd love to have your help as well (June)
