Glenview Elementary School

Join us for our next Walk and Roll to School Day on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010! Come early to participate in fun activities and wear your sticker. Walk the Walk, Hear the Talk

The Walk
Walk, Roll and Read on Tuesday, March 9 in conjunction with this year's Seuss-inspired Readathon: Oh the places you'll go. Skip, walk or scooter to school for the morning commute. Join a walking school bus for a fuss-free trip to school.

Whether you park and walk or start from home, you can join one of the parent-led walking school busses on March 9th. Busses leave at 8am to allow plenty of time for walking and getting kinders to school on time. Kindergarteners must be accompanied by a parent or guardian; 1st-5th graders who can follow instructions can take the walking school bus under the supervision of the leader.
