Active Living in...
Research shows that students who move more are better learners. By working with our school partners to create more bikes lanes, reduce speed limits on narrow streets and provide off-street biking and walking paths to schools, we get students to move more on their way to school. We also promote opportunities for students to be more active during the school day.
