Dear Addams Families,

Our second Walk to School event went amazing! Thank you to all of the families who joined us and our staff that supported our walk. Please consider signing up for our next two walks!

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is an international movement and a federal program to make it safe, convenient, and fun for children, including those with disabilities, to bicycle and walk to school. When routes are safe, walking or biking to and from school is an easy way to get the regular physical activity children need for good health. Safe Routes to School initiatives also help ease traffic jams and air pollution, unite neighborhoods, and contribute to students’ readiness to learn in school.

Here are the details for Addams students:

Dates: Fridays- May 16, May 30, and June 6, 2025

Time: Group can start meeting at 7:45 am. Walk start time is 7:55 am.

Prasit Nemmin and his friends could only play soccer a couple of times a month, since the sandbar they played on in their island village of Koh Panyee, Thailand was underwater the rest of the time. Watching the World Cup on TV made them want to play every day, inspiring their plan to build a floating field.
