HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT OUR WALKING SCHOOL BUS?

Do you want your child to walk to school but you don't want them to walk alone? Is your bus stop pick-up time too late for your morning routine? Is your child not eligible for transportation?

IF you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Walking School Bus is a great choice for your child. Even if you don't live along the Walking School Bus route, you can drop your child off in the morning at one of the stops. Then your child can walk to school, together with their friends and two trained Walking School Bus leaders.
