Join Team Safe Routes in the fun! Have you tried out a Wellness Walk yet? Sheltering in place is tough, and we created this activity to give you and your students a little extra encouragement to get out, off of screens and devices, and to enjoy the physical and mental benefits of a safe walk. Try out one of the activities associated with this month’s theme of Gratitude! #SafeRoutestoSchools #activekids #gratitude https://alamedacountysr2s.org//plan-an-eve/wellness-walks/

Our latest newsletter to teachers, principals, and program champions is full of info about November’s Wellness Walks and Pen Pals activities, and it’s also got an in-depth look at how your school can further incorporate the Safe Routes program into online learning.
