Walk'n Roll to School Day

The School District of Pittsfield, together with the help of many local volunteers, has coordinated Pittsfield's first Walk'n Roll to School Day on October 5. On October 5, children and their parents are encouraged to walk, jog and ride their bicycles to school. This event was created in response to a growing trend in childhood weight related health problems, and to recognize that we all care about the health of our children and the health of our community.

As part of the event, an all-day educational festival will take place at the Darrow Elementary School, focusing on how walking and bicycling to school can improve children's health, and provide numerous other benefits to the community. We will need several volunteers to make this event come off smoothly. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Melissa Thompson at direct line: (352) 643-0129 or fax: (352) 643-0135. You can also stop by her office (located in the administrative office suite) at the Darrow Elementary School.

Dear Melissa,

I just called to talk to you about the Walk'n Roll to School Day, but you were not in the office. I am really excited at the event and am happy to volunteer in whatever capacity you need. I have noticed among my son's friends, that many of them could use some additional exercise. I believe that weight-related problems in children come from not playing outside, and not only from diet. I am so glad the school district has come up with this fun way to encourage walking to school.

You can call me at (352) 728-1100. If I am not in, let me know if there is a good time this week I could stop by to talk to you about this. My son is a fifth grader at Darrow, and I'll be here every day this week to drop him off and pick him up.

Hope to talk to you soon,

Danielle Schroeder
