“IT’S WINTER! DON’T HIBERNATE — WALK TO SCHOOL AND CELEBRATE

Wednesday, February 5th, 2014 is Winter Walk Day across Canada.

Walk to school or at school for daily physical activity, a healthier environment, safer streets, making friends and … having fun!

 Say Hi and Thank You to your Crossing Guard!

TIPS FOR DRESSING FOR WINTER WALKING

  • Keep hands and head covered to prevent heat loss
  • On really cold days wear a scarf over your face and mouth
  • Wear warm, waterproof boots
  • Wear a warm coat that deflects the wind
  • Woolen clothing helps to retain the heat
  • Wear clothing or carry knapsacks with reflective material – it’s important to be seen
  • If possible, change wet clothes at school – tuck an extra pair of socks and mitts into knapsacks”
