October 5, 2021

The Watsonville Police Department encourages parents and students to join school-goers from around the country and make the trek to class on foot Oct. 6.    

“Walk to School Day” is celebrated annually to highlight the benefits of exercise and practice pedestrian and road safety with classmates, families, and caregivers.

Here are some tips for children to incorporate into their walks:

•    Be predictable. Use crosswalks. 

•    Walk on sidewalks, when available.

•    Always look left-right-left before crossing the street. Make sure the driver sees you. Continue to scan for traffic as you cross the street.
