Back to School with Safe Routes
Biking and Walking to School Benefits Us
All
The summer's flown by, and it's time for
kids to head back to school, but there's no reason to leave that bike
at home.
Ozark Greenways is promoting a nationwide
effort called "Safe Routes to School". We're helping spread
the word about identified safe routes and encouraging groups to
walk and bike together to get to school. This effort is parent or
teacher led and there are many obvious benefits, including healthier
happier kids, less traffic congestion and safety. Yes - the fewer
cars buzzing around schools, the safer it is for the kids to walk
and bike.
Maybe some day getting driven to school
will be uncool!
We have a new "Biking Basics Bookmark",
so let us know if you'd like one mailed to you.

place for a meal or drinks. www.houlihans.com
