Walk & Roll to School Day is coming up on Oct 4!
For the first time, Thornhill is participating in the annual and international Walk & Roll to School Day on Wednesday, October 4! This event encourages the school community to roll, walk, bike, take transit, or use other non-motorized transportation to get to school on that one day.
Did you know that travel to school accounts for approximately 21% of all morning traffic? The rise in transportation is responsible for nearly 40% of the Bay Area’s harmful greenhouse gas emissions!
The Green Team at Thornhill, is excited about this awesome opportunity to make our streets safer, reduce traffic, improve air quality, and have fun exercising with our communities! We will provide details on ways to participate, and set up safety routes and staff to ensure the event is as safe, smooth, and stimulating as possible.
