First Walk & Roll to School Day: Tuesday, 9/10

F.Ave has a great culture of walking and rolling to school! On one day each month, we make a special effort to celebrate and encourage those who might walk less often to come out and experience the fresh morning air! Each child who participates will receive a numbered certificate and have a chance to win a book of their choice from the Media Center. Check out the Safe Routes to School page to find maps of regular routes and join other families on our Walk&Roll Days! If you have any questions, please contact: kendallhamilton@bellsouth.net
