Cypress Trails Elementary School students participated in International Walk to School Day on Friday, Oct. 14.
This was the school’s 11th year participating and the 20th anniversary of the original International Walk to School Day.
Children are taught pedestrian safety in their physical education class, and then given an opportunity to put their knowledge into practice.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office was on hand to promote a safe environment and to hand out gifts to the participants. Safe Kids gave away backpack reflectors and the physical education department provided free water bottles to any student who walked or rode their bike to school.
Cypress Trails would like to thank the PBSO, Safe Kid, and the many volunteers who helped make the day successful.
