Walk

Walking promotes wellness -- both physical and mental -- and is a great way to get to school.

It only takes about 20 minutes to walk a mile. If you live within about a mile of school and you don't have a bike, just walk!

-- A brisk walk before school can get your blood flowing and brain ready for class

-- Walk with a friend

-- Relax & chill on your walk home; it will give you a nice break before starting homework or other activities

Walk Safely

1. Cross the street only at intersections.

2. Always look both ways and make sure motorists see you before you cross.

3. If walking on a street without sidewalks, walk facing oncoming traffic (generally the left side of the road).

4. Don't fall prey to the modern ill of distracted walking! Instead, enjoy your walk screen- and headphone-free.
