Who's up for a morning stroll?
Thursday is Brookdale Walk to School Day, a day when we leave the car in the garage and join our friends and neighbors as we all get to school on foot.
Teams of Brookdale staff members will meet groups of students in three locations throughout the neighborhood and lead children and their families to school on what's known as a "walking school bus."
Groups of walkers will leave at 8:30 a.m. from the intersections of Hastings and Abbotsford, Brookdale and Bainbridge, and Brookdale and Manchester.
Mr. Tabisz, Mrs. Biegelmann and Mrs. Syty will lead a group from Hastings and Abbotsford, following Hastings to Bainbridge and taking Bainbridge around to Redfield to approach the school from the north.
Mrs. Beymer, Mrs. Federhofer and Mr. LeCrone will lead the group leaving from Brookdale and Bainbridge. They'll follow Bainbridge to the path leading into the park by school and will approach the school from the west.
The third group, led by Mrs. Stepper, Mrs. Allison and Mrs. Claytor, leaves from Brookdale and Manchester and heads to Fox Hill, then follows around to Redfield to approach the school from the south.
Students and their families may meet the groups at the start of the route or to join the processing along the way.
The event, part of an international movement, traditionally has fallen later on the school calendar. We've moved up the date this year to foster a healthy habit early in the school year and to introduce the Bobcat BLAST fun run.
Once the groups arrive at school, we'll gather on the blacktop for an interactive - emphasis on active - assembly that aims to get children excited about the Bobcat BLAST.
The BLAST is our new fall fundraiser, replacing the product sale we've held annually in recent years. Our goal is to raise money via pledges in a fun event that involves all students and encourages healthy choices. Learn more about the BLAST here.
