National Walk & Roll to School Day is Wednesday, October 12. All school-aged families are encouraged to take part by walking, biking or scootering to school!

This is the 26th anniversary of this annual event, which is led by the National Center for Safe Routes to School. 

The day is focused on safe, active travel to schools. Join with other families in your neighborhood and walk or scooter together. Set up walking school buses or form a bike train and ride to school. Please remember to practice correct bike safety and always wear a helmet when biking. 

Wellesley is committed to the Massachusetts Safe Routes to School program. To support this movement and get involved in walking to school activities, setting up walking school buses or identifying a good bike to school route, reach out to School Committee member Catherine Mirick and Select Board Member Colette Aufranc through by email at [email protected]
