The Canyon Crest PTA is encouraging students and families to leave cars at home for Walk, Bike, and Roll to School week, according to a September 14 report. The event, scheduled for September 14-18, promotes walking, biking, scooting, or rolling to school to build a healthy and active school community.
Participants can join the event by biking, scooting, rolling, or walking with their children. The PTA noted that participation is not required every day, and even one morning of commuting is considered a way to participate. For those living further away, the PTA suggested parking in a church lot or a few blocks away to practice safe commuting with children.
The organization is also seeking volunteers to assist each morning from 8:15 a.m. to 9 a.m. Volunteers will help welcome students and assist them in marking their names for raffle prizes. At least two volunteers are needed for each morning of the event.
The PTA has established a GroupMe for interested parties to join, which is open to everyone regardless of PTA membership. A specific subthread has been created within the GroupMe for those with questions regarding Bike Week volunteering.
