Walk to School Day 2013 

11 Champaign-Urbana schools participated in Walk n' Roll to School Day (WRTSD) October 9th, 2013!  Students walked with friends, parents, teachers, law enforcement officers, Urbana City Council member Carol Ammons and Champaign Mayor Gerard!

Balanced Calendar Walk n' Roll to School was a Blast!

Mayor Gerard and U of I football and women's golf athletes arrived early at Barkstall, Kenwood, and Thomasboro elementary schools on Friday September 6 to greet students walking and biking to school and encourage physical health.  Students who took the bus to school were dropped off approximately 1/4 mile from the school and enthusiastically enjoyed a short and sunny morning walk.

A big thank-you to all our athlete volunteers, to Mayor Gerard, and particularly to the teachers, school staff, and parents who were so critical to the event's success!  

More great photos available at the News-Gazette! 

Walk to School Day Proclamation

The City of Champaign and the City of Urbana both made Proclamations of Walk and Roll to School Day in 2013!  The purpose of a Proclamation is to increase awareness among elected officials and the public about the importance of biking and walking.
