OME Families,
Join us on Wednesday, May 7, to celebrate Walk + Roll to School Day at Owen
Marsh!
We encourage families to walk, bike, scooter, skate, and roll to school to celebrate
all the cool things about staying active. Moving by our own power promotes a
healthy mind, body, and planet, and helps kids show up awake and ready to learn at
school.
If it’s safe for you to do so, consider walking or rolling to school on Wednesday with
family and friends. Students are welcome on the playground as early as 8:20am if
they walk or roll to school (please note, the building will not be open to students until
8:40am as usual). Parents and families are welcome to stick around- we’ll have
music and snacks!
Not able to walk or roll all the way to school? No problem! Try one of these fun
alternatives with your child:
● Walk to the bus stop
● Park a few blocks away from school and walk the rest of the way
● Join a Walking School Bus or Bike Train – safety in numbers will increase
safety when crossing busy intersections (more info on other side!)
By encouraging regular physical activity for kids, we will help build strong bodies and
healthy habits as they continue to grow. We hope you join us next week in
celebrating healthy, active, and fun transportation choices!
We look forward to seeing you there!
Owen Marsh PTO
