October is walk to school month and today October 5th is walk to school day.
The walk started in 1994 in Great Britain with a couple of schools and now has expanded to 40 countries and millions of walkers participating. (You can read more about it at www.iwalktoschool.org )
Walking or biking to school keeps kids healthy, and improves the air quality and environment. Of course safety is a great concern and with the help of the
National Safe Routes to School program many safety measures are taken in the US to insure our children a safe walk to school.
Wearing reflective gear is a good idea because visibility can be low on a foggy or cloudy day or it may not be totally light yet. Some good ideas for children walking to school are
Reflective stick-ons for coats and bags,
reflective backpacks and a
reflective collar. Please let us know your safety ideas for kids.

reflective tapes and accessories!)
