Let’s celebrate health and sustainability next week! International Walk & Roll to School Day is October 2. The weather is going to be beautiful, let’s do it on Oct 2, 3 AND 4?

Resources
– 4 ways that walking to school can benefit kids
– Why, and how, kids should walk or bike to school
– MassDEP Safe Routes to School

In preparation, Newton parents – what is it that keeps your children from walking or biking safely to their destination? Be part of the solution and alert the City of Newton via Newton 311.

Potholes, sidewalk repairs, traffic signal not working, faded or missing crosswalks, shrubs overtaking the sidewalk. Snap a photo to include if you can, note the location, and submit to Newton 311 at  https://newtonma.mycusthelp.com/webapp  or 617-796-100.

Make Newton safer for everyone! Brought to you by the Newton Safe Routes to School Task Force. Bigelow does not have a Safe Routes to School representative yet. Would you like to be? Contact us: bigelowbulldog@gmail.com
