Wednesday October 5th is Walk To School Day!

As part of the Safe Routes To School Program being initiated at RFES, next wednesday the 5th of October will be recognized as "Walk to School Day"

All kids and their parents are being asked to take advantage of this day and ditch the cars for foot travel on their way to RFES. Almost all students live within a safe walking distance and route to the school so participation is highly encouraged!

A friendly reminder to all residents of the neighborhood for that day, please be mindful of the fact that many children (more than normal) will be taking to the sidewalks. All drivers should be especially cautious, drive slowly, and come to FULL stops at all stop signs (as they always should).

SRTS is also asking for volunteer corner-captains to help with crossings. This could be a good way for the community to be involved even if they don't have kids at RFES!
