More than 850 JC elementary students participated in National Walk to School Day last year! Join us for a nice cool morning walk. As part of ongoing JC Healthy Schools efforts, National Walk to School Day creates safer routes for walking and emphasizes the importance of increasing physical activity among children, improving pedestrian safety in neighborhoods and near schools, decreasing traffic congestion, and building connections between families, schools, and the community. National Walk to School Day is expected to include more than 5,000 events across all 50 states.
