Walking Wednesday

_____________________________

Since the Fall of 2004,  Stoneleigh Elementary has been walking all over the world! We walk for a safer community, we walk for our health, and we walk to help the earth.  Join us this year as we trek across the United States.

Through a PTA-sponsored program called Walking Wednesday, children who walk or bicycle to and from school record the number of blocks they travel. After converting the blocks to miles, the totals for each week are recorded on a map where the students can watch their progress.  In addition to healthier bodies, cleaner air, fewer cars, and fun with their friends, the children have enjoyed learning about the geography, history, and culture of each destination.

Stoneleigh’s Walking Wednesday program received the 2006 Best Family Involvement Award from the Baltimore County PTA Council.   Baltimore County Public Schools gives our program the spotlight!

2011-2012 plans will be provided soon!
