Since 1997, communities have been coming together for Walk to School Day, and Brockport Central School District has been participating since 2006. Families are invited to walk, bike, or scooter to school on Wednesday, October 6, to celebrate the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. The elementary school and middle school class with the highest percentage of walkers will be presented with the Walk to School Trophy (elementary) or plaque (OMS).
Students should enter through their school’s main door at their normal start time to ensure they are counted. All schools will begin on time, and students should not be dropped off early. Buses will run as scheduled. Younger children must walk with an adult. Community volunteers will be stationed at intersections and at schools to greet and encourage the students. Families wishing to participate, but live too far away, may park and walk from Bill Gray’s or Our Village Optician (park in the lot across from Brockport Diner). The event will occur rain or shine. Families should use their judgment in the event of inclement weather.
Participants are encouraged to share their pictures on social media and tag them #Walk2BCSD2021.
The event is organized by Brockport’s Walk to School Committee.
