A Great Kickoff Meeting for Walk.Bike.Schools!
April 22, 2012 2 Comments
Frankly, we’re feeling pretty jazzed here at Walk.Bike.Schools! headquarters. When we started planning this “project,” we weren’t sure if we’d have 5, 10, or 20 of you who’d make the time to come a meeting. In fact, we had 35 or so parents, plus another 5 or so folks otherwise connected with the walk-and-bike-to-school movement in at least 14 schools. All on a record-busy night for bike and ped meetings. Wow!
We experienced inspirational sharing of insights and ideas from participants. Some real winners included:
- Make it fun for kids and they can motivate their parents!
- Let’s develop Buddy Schools to match up existing programs to mentor new programs
- Target preschools for early bike and walk involvement. That way kids and parents will already be converts when they hit elementary school
- and many more!
