Thank you to all the schools and families who participated in our Walk to School Day events over the past two weeks! 👟

Students were able to learn and practice the rules of the road on their way to school as they completed "Safe Walk to School" bingo cards. They were greeted at the doors by Joe Mushock, our Injury Prevention Coordinator, and received a copy of the Cayuga County Health Department's original book "The Tale of Safety Joe." 🍎

These students are ready to practice pedestrian safety wherever they go! 🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏼‍♂️
