Simsbury's Squadron Line School Holding Bike/Walk to School Day

On Friday, students, staff, parent chaperones, and invited guests will meet at neighborhood locations and bike or walk to Squadron Line School.

This is the second year that Squadron Line students are celebrating national Bike to School Day. After a successful Walk to School event in October, approximately 200 students are expected to participate.

Squadron Line School is developing a Safe Routes to School program and hopes that this continues to be successful community event.

From 8:15 a.m. until 8:45 a.m. at Squadron Line School playground, participants will be greeted by members of the Bike/Walk to School organizing committee and school officials. Student participants will receive small prizes from Safe Routes to School and will be eligible to win prizes donated by the business community and local bike advocacy groups.

Bike/Walk to School events are part of a national Safe Routes to School initiative dedicated to improving conditions around schools so that more children can safely walk and bike to school, promoting healthy lifestyles and a healthy Earth.
