PICTURES AND REPORTS WAY TO GO WALKING WEDNESDAY REPORT Let's celebrate the fact that we had 60% of our entire school (students and adults) come to school by busing/walking/biking/rolling/carpooling on Wednesday. That is a huge achievement for one of our October Walking Wednesdays. Now we qualify to be in the drawing to win one of the Way-to-Go Challenge prizes; the solar panels or the bike rack. You demonstrated that we can be more efficient in our way of traveling to school - reducing fossil fuel use and pollution.  Thank you everyone! Here are a few interesting facts: 300 students came to school by bus 206 students walked/biked/scootered to school 67% of students used busing or human power to get to school 33% of students came to school by car. The community with the most walkers/bikers/scooters was Renaissance with 43 students. Excellent work.  They will use this fact to qualify for RiseVT rewards for participating in healthy activities. Impressive performance Renaissance! Mayor Liz Gamache joined in on the walk Wednesday and helped at the sign-in table when she got to school. LINK TO 28 WALKING WEDNESDAY PICTURES
