National Walk to School Day

International Walk to School Day is Oct. 8 and the district is partnering with the Florida Department of Health – Duval County to make it the biggest one yet! Schools can register to be included in a districtwide give-away for students. Students who participate from any of the first 50 schools to register will receive a free meal card from Subway® and more. Schools in neighborhoods where students walking is not feasible can still participate by organizing events on school grounds centered around physical activity. Click here for a list of ideas. Visit the official International Walk to School web site for more information. Dr, Vitti is encouraging district administrators to participate in International Walk to School Day, as well, by escorting your child(ren) or relative(s) to school on Oct. 8.
