Each year the Lealman Fire District in partnership with the community sponsors several Walk This Way Events at aea schools. This Year's Walk will take place on Wednesday, October 7th. Below are some tips to make walking to school safer:

 

 

- Always cross the street with an adult until age 10

 

- Pause your music, hang up the cell phone and don't text until you've safely crossed the street

 

- Never play hand-held games while walking

 

- Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks

 

- Look left, right and left again when crossing

 

- Always walk, never run, when crossing streets

 

- Walk on sidewalks or paths

 

- Walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible if there are no sidewalks

 

- Never run out into the street or cross in between parked cars

 

 - Eliminate any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings

 

- Watch for children on and near the road in the morning and after school hours
