Walk/Bike to School on Oct. 2
W-K Walk Bike to School

Students, parents and volunteers get ready to walk to W-K from Sinclair Park in 2018.

On Wednesday, Oct. 2, Winona Area Public Schools elementaries will participate in a Walk/Bike to School Day, joining schools and organizations across the nation in doing so.

The event is a fun way to motivate kids to become more physically active.

In order to participate, drop off your student(s) at the appropriate location by 7:15 a.m. Adult volunteers will walk and bike with the group to school. 

The locations are:

Jefferson Elementary: John Nett Rec Center (10th and Vila streets on Cotter campus)

Goodview Elementary: Goodview Fire Station, 4135 W. Fifth St., Goodview

W-K Elementary: Sinclair Park (Seventh and Liberty streets)

Please arrive no later than 7:15 a.m. The group will start walking from each location at 7:20 a.m.

If you choose to walk with your children, please join us for breakfast once you arrive at your school. Students can use their breakfast/lunch number and adults eat for free!

Volunteers are also needed! In order to make this event a success, we welcome parents/volunteers to help walk with the kids at each site. If you are able to help on Wednesday, Oct. 2, email linda.jacobs@winona.k12.mn.us to volunteer. Then, plan on joining us for breakfast with your children.
