I can’t attach the form, but here the info.
Dear Partner for a Safe Community:
Our annual Walk to School Week Campaign (October 6-10) will again be held in conjunction with International Walk to School Day. We encourage all interested schools, police departments and neighborhoods to organize their own Walk to School event at your school, and/or join us for Madison Area SAFE KIDS Walk to School Week kickoff, hosted by Cottage Grove Schools and Police Department: October 8, 2008 Cottage Grove Elementary School 470 N. Main Street Bus drop-off of students at Community Park: 7:20-7:30 AM Students are walked to the elementary school. After all students arrive in their classrooms, the students will be taken to the gymnasium where a short (5 minute) program will occur.
Interested in organizing an event at your school? Attached is the form for you to let us know what is happening at your school so that we can build the calendar for the week and share with the media as well. Please let us know what resources you need for your “walk” on the form as well. Forms are due back to me (Nan Peterson) by Monday, September 29 (email npeterson@uwhealth.org or fax 265-9650). Walk to School Week Goals: · to encourage safe walking behaviors; · to educate drivers in school zones; · and to enjoy the health benefits of walking. Much work has been done this past year to improve problem areas around schools, develop traffic plans, and educate parents about safe drop-off behaviors. This year we hope to encourage the use of more walking school buses. Thanks to all of our partners in this county-wide effort. Questions? Contact either myself or Lisa Bullard-Cawthorne (444-3542). Thanks!
