District 109 to Celebrate National Walk to School Day

From Deerfield Public Schools District 109

District 109 will join schools across the country to celebrate National Walk/Bike to School Day on Wednesday, Oct. 7.

District officials encourage students and their families to participate in any way they can, whether it’s a long hike or short stroll. The goal is simply to bring together the community with a focus on being active, reducing traffic, and enjoying time together. In the process, some families may find new, safe ways to get to school.

Members of the Deerfield Police Department and Deerfield Fire Departments also plan to lace up with district officials.

Each school may have additional activities planned as part of the event. Look for information from principals. Buses will run on schedule, and before-school care and other before-school events and activities will proceed as usual.
