Walk + Bike to School Day = Tomorrow (10/7)

This Wednesday, Oct. 7th, is Walk and Bike to School Day!

You are also invited to join a group walk from the southwest corner of Peninsula Park (NE Ainsworth and NE Albina). Nikos Tzetos (dad to Thalia, Whitney's class) is leading this group, which will leave the park at 8:00 AM and walk to school.

A few of the event's goals:

• Encourage physical activity
  
• Raise awareness of how walkable a community is, and where improvements can be made
• Raise concern for the environment
• Reduce crime and take back neighborhoods for people on foot
• Reduce traffic congestion, pollution, and speed near schools
• Share valuable time with local community leaders, parents, and children
