Upcoming Safe Routes Events

Our schools are continually holding events to promote Safe Routes to School, to train students in safe walking and biking, and to celebrate their accomplishments as Safe Routes schools. This calendar provides basic information on all upcoming events in the schools where we work.

Winooski's "I Love to Walk Parade"

Safe Routes to Schools events happen even in the wintertime. Here, kids, parents and all the JFK Elementary school teachers set out on February 11th, 2009 for a parade to celebrate walking. The Red Cross Blood drop was the "secret" mascot. Participants enjoyed a free community breakfast afterwards.

Kids Walking & Biking More at 22 Schools!

22 elementary schools are participating in Safe Routes To School in Chittenden County during the 2000-2010 school year. The program seeks to get more children walking and bicycling to school more often. Five decades ago, 70% of children across the country walked or biked to school. Today, about 13% walk or bike.
