What is “Walk to School”?
Now we are working on a program of "Walk to School". We would like as many parents and children as possible to take part, even if in a small way. Children who walk to and from school along with their parents can learn essential (基本的) road safety and life skills.
You can take part by…
Walking to and from school with your child every day.
Walking for one or two days during the week.
Encouraging others to walk, if you already do.
Walking is great!
Walking is great exercise! A walk is good for your body and can keep you fit.
You won't have to waste time looking for a parking site .
It's free. You'll save money by not using the car.
It's pollution free.
It's a good chance to talk to your children and to meet other parents, too.
Enjoying walking to school!
Here are some suggestions to help you and your child enjoy walking to school.
Plan a safe route together.
Teach children what a kerb (马路牙子) is and what it means.
Encourage your child to help you choose the safest places to cross the road.
Look at and discuss the things you see on your way－especially road signs and what they mean.
Walk to school! Thousands of parents and children already take part, could you?
