400+ walked to school!

Huge THANK YOU to everyone who walked to school last Friday!!!! Around 440 people + at least 20 dogs!!! It was fun-fun-fun!

We managed to reduce the number of cars in the carline with 173 cars! Can you imagine how much less exhauste got into the air!

Did you see the walkers' happy, rosy faces? Perhaps it was party due to the morning chill, but surely mainly due to the healthy walk!

The first walkers brave the morning chill:


Rolling backpacks, carrying poster boards, leading dogs - nothing stops us from walking!


Arriving to school walkers are rewarded with sprout stamps


We get to school fresh and happy

WALK TO SCHOOL DAY - May 6th, 2011

Come and walk to school again! I'm sure you remember how much fun it was last fall! (Have you seen the pictures yet?) And I'm sure you also remember why it's sooooooooooo good for the environment if people choose to walk instead of to drive. (Need a reminder?)

This year, as in the past, police will help with crossing Berkeley Bridge (in the news, too!). Please tell your friends who drive across the bridge that morning to expect delays.

HAVE YOU HEARD? Soon we could have a safer way to walk to school (read this news article from Dec. 2010)! An alternative crossing path is in the works at our city council!!! Check out the handouts of the public information meeing here! (Feel free to download and print it from the SproutPrint website.) Please express your support and comments to:

See here a short outline of the proposed project:
