Walking School Bus

It’s time to start thinking about Prairieland School’s 5th annual Walking School Bus! It is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7 (rain date is October 8) and is held early in the morning before school begins.

What is a walking school bus? It’s a group of children walking to school with one or more adults. They are becoming popular all across the country as a way to motivate children to exercise, while also reducing traffic and congestion around schools.

Our event is very simple. Kids walk to school, some carrying signs. We greet them at the school with a sticker and a piece of fruit, and then send them on their way.

We need volunteers to:

  • Color posters at home that your children will carry that morning to school that read "We are a Walking School Bus!"
  • To purchase, wash and distribute fruit (bananas or apples) (2 or 3 people)
    • Volunteer 1:  ?
    • Volunteer 2:  ?
    • Volunteer 3:  ?
  • Help staff certain points in various neighborhoods to ensure safe walking (approx 12-15 people)

Here are the locations that need volunteers. You should plan to be at your post no later than 7:45 a.m. We depart for school at 7:55 a.m.

If you are able to fill a slot, please email Heather Young to let her know which. Also, we encourage you to wear yellow and carry a sign that reads “We are a walking school bus!”
