In 1969, 50% of kids nationwide walked or biked to school and enjoyed the benefits of healthier bodies and minds, increased independence and confidence, and greater community connectedness. In contrast, just 13% of American kids walked or biked to school in 2009. If you're tired of driving your kids less than a mile to school, and/or are worried about traffic and safety on our streets, come learn how many are advocating for children in our community to be able to walk and bike to school safely, and be inspired to join the Safe Routes movement. - Tuesday, September 19th at 6:30pm - Hillview Middle School, Performing Arts Center - 1100 Elder Ave., Menlo Park, CA - Free and open to the public - Free onsite childcare (and pizza!) for potty trained children - Light snacks and beverages provided -- *Jen Wolosin* Parents for Safe Routes www.parents4saferoutes.org jenwolosin_at_(domainremoved)415.710.5838 -- *Jen Wolosin* Parents for Safe Routes www.parents4saferoutes.org jenwolosin_at_(domainremoved)415.710.5838 Received on Tue Sep 19 2017 - 14:02:40 PDT
