Walk & Roll to School Day at Owen Marsh! Join us on Wednesday, October 9 - 8:20 a.m. There are 3 locations where volunteers gather to serve as a meeting point for students and their families so that the group can be a "walking school bus" to school-- safety in numbers! We need volunteers at the following spots at 8:15 to meet families (leave the spot at 8:20 to head to Marsh)- Meeting spot #1: Pinehurst Dr & Golf Rd Meeting spot #2: Parkview Dr (west of Chatham Rd) Meeting spot #3: Interlacken Rd & Larchmont Dr 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.
