WALK TO SCHOOL

National Walk to School Day - Wednesday, October 7

WOW PROGRAM

We are very excited about our new WOW (Walk or Wheel to School) program this year. This PTA program encourages students to walk or bike* to/from school**.   Students will have the opportunity to go to the WOW Store after each 9 weeks of school to purchase prizes with the points that they earn.

The WOW program will start on October 7,
which is International Walk/Bike to School Day

The student or parent is to fill in the log for each day that the student walks or bikes to/from school. Each way is worth one point, so if the student walks both to and from school, he/she will earn 2 points.  At the end of each 9 weeks the student/parent is to tally the total number of points earned and sign the form. The form is to be turned into the student’s teacher as indicated on the Log form. 

Each class will have the opportunity to go to the WOW store where students can purchase prizes with the points. The student may spend all his/her points or save them until later in the year, up until the end of the year, to purchase larger prizes.  A new log will be distributed to each student through their class folders prior to the beginning of each 9 weeks .   

If you have any questions regarding the WOW program or are interested in finding other students that live nearby in order to form a walk or bike pool, (or a car pool if walking/biking isn’t feasible) please email:  walkbikecarpool@parkglenpta.org, and include student name(s), address, closest intersecting street, phone number, grade, and desired mode of travel.
