Shout out to the 4 students, their awesome families, and a fantastic coach for showing up for a rainy morning walk to school today. Pisgah Forest has a great route from the local sports park to school that serves as a very safe and fun route.

We're back again for this month's Sparking the Movement walk. Next week we will be at Pisgah Forest Elementary for a walk to school! Wonder if we'll have any snow for fun glow stick play?

It's that time again. The annual NC Bicycle Helmet Initiative free helmet application is open. Did you know that wearing a helmet can reduce the risk of severe brain injury by 88 percent, yet less than 50% of children wear safety helmets? Let's work together to protect our kids! PS, don't forget helmet use is also vital on one wheels, scooters, skateboards, etc. Application link here: https://connect.ncdot.gov/projects/BikePed/Pages/Bicycle-Helmet-Initiative.aspx

After a delayed school start, Clyde Elementary still pulled out a successful walk at school day last week. Some classes braved the chilly weather, while others racked in the laps in the gym, with a total of 457 participants. Way to go Clyde for representing rural active living!

During this season of reflection and looking ahead, we are so proud of what this year has brought for Safe Routes to School. We hope all our communities feel comfort, peace, and joy. Take some time to move around with your loved ones, whether that be a walk to the park, a family dance off, a spin at the skate park, or (our personal favorite) a bundled up stroll to school.

Happy Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day! Although we didn't have any schools signed up this year, it's important to celebrate the historic steps that Ruby Bridges took (and still takes) to fight racism and bullying in our school system. Enjoy this art from a student at Lucy S. Herring last year. Our program is brainstorming some ways to emphasize this day more next year.

Claxton Elementary brought the glam! 36 students and their families showed up in style and made the trek to school together yesterday morning. The school PTO helped make it happen and even brought doughnuts and coffee. What a great way to launch the new "Sparking the Movement" walking series!
