Woodlin Elementary Nation Walk to School Day
It’s National Walk to School day on Wednesday October 10, 2018. Let’s join schools in all 50 states and walk to school!

Get a group of neighbors and friends from your bus stop, building or neighborhood and make a walking plan.
Wear your Woodlin gear and Woodlin colors. Get together earlier and make posters. It’s a walking party!
Arrive at school by 8:45am! Bring an extra snack/water for your child if they get hungry from the walk.
MCPD community crossing guards will be at 16th Street and 2nd Ave AND Georgia Ave and Seminary Rd
http://www.walkbiketoschool.org/

We would love volunteers to help organize neighbors to walk to school day. Feel free to post the flier around your neighborhood or building. Also, even if you can’t walk the whole way from your home to Woodlin, maybe park a few blocks away and walk in with your child. We will have stickers to pass out for everyone but it might be fun to all walk in together.

If you have any other ideas or questions or want to help out, let us know Amri Brown amribrown@gmail.com and Brett Forshey brett.forshey@gmail.com (parents to Georgia F in Ms Choi’s 1st grade)
*Our fantastic flier was illustrated by Woodlin dad, Kuroji Patrick!

We hope every child can participate by walking, running or striding the race course and asking parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors to sponsor him or her in the fun run! Spectators (parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, etc.) are more than welcome to come
Volunteer
We need volunteers to make sure that the Dash of the Runaway Wizards is a success for our children.
