Walking to school helps save energy and encourages healthy physical activity. As part of the Meadows Grades of Green program, we will be handing out wrist bandanas to students who walk to school on Thursdays. We need 4 volunteers on Thursday mornings to help us cheer on the walkers and to hand out wrist bandanas. All it takes is 20 minutes, from 7:50 - 8:10. Please sign up on our Sign-up Genius and become part of our Grades of Green program - and spread the word to walk to school with your Meadows student at least once a week on Thursdays! You'll be glad you did!
