Walking School Buses
iWALK School Buses help kids get exercise on the way to or from school. They also help reduce school traffic during pick-up and drop-off time. Any volunteer leader can organize a walking school bus in their neighborhood. Then pick a day of the week when you'll walk to school, picking up the neighborhood kids as you go. It's like a school bus on foot! How many will your school have?

Walking School Buses are popping up across Sonoma County. We hear it's great for the mind (fresh air), body (exercise) and spirit (it's a social thing!). Plus, the iWALK School Bus does wonders for traffic outside the school since more kids are walking to school! Congratulations to these schools where students and parent leaders are committed to biking or walking to school regularly:
SANTA ROSA

We'd like to hear about where other walking school buses are popping up around the county. The first 50 walking school buses to register with iWALK will receive an iWALK backpack and zipper pulls for the kids.
To register your walking school bus, please contact: iWALK@volunteer.org to receive registration information.
