Walk or Bike to School Day
Join us for Walk/Bike to School Day on
Wednesday, October 2, 2019! Volunteers are needed. Please
sign up here if you are able to help.
Walk or Bike to School Day will:
- Bring awareness to sidewalk and car line safety as our kids travel to school
- Promote that "active kids are healthier kids"
- Help the environment by walking instead of driving
To show your support, be a part of Dogwood's first
WALKING SCHOOL BUS!
Join Mrs. Price as she leads participating students and parents on a fun walk to the school. For this event, meet by 8:15 AM at the corner of Dogwood Road and Brachton Avenue. We will will be leaving for the school promptly at 8:20 AM. Parents' participation is encouraged but not required. Please be respectful of
neighbors if you park down our neighborhood streets. Other meeting spots will be planned for future events.
