South School’s 1st “Paws-itevly Healthy” Walk/Bike to School Day is on Friday, September 23rd!  South School received a California Green Ribbon Schools silver-level recognition in 2021. In a continued effort to make sure our students and planet stay healthy, we are introducing additional Walk/Bike days at South School this year. All students will receive a beaded necklace in their classroom the week of September 19th and if they walk or bike to school on 9/23, they will receive a colorful paw charm to add. Collect paws throughout the year!

We encourage friends and neighbors to meet and walk to school together, but there will not be class or grade level meetups for every Walk/Bike to School Day. For children who do not normally walk to school independently, an adult must accompany them. If you live further from school, you can park at least 3-5 blocks from school and walk over. You will be doing your part to reduce congestion and carbon emissions in the parking lot which goes a long way! 

Anyone biking must wear a helmet and parents should not follow behind their biker in their car. Typically, only 4th and 5th graders ride bikes to school, however, since this is a school-wide event, it will be open to younger experienced bikers who are accompanied by an adult.

Following is a list of the Walk/Bike to School Days at South. You will get reminders throughout the year. Thank you for joining in!
