Hey Students!

Do you like to walk or bike to school, even when it’s raining outside? Tell us why it is fun to walk or bike in the rain. Write us a letter (100 words or less) about how you walk or bike to school during the rainy winter months (or why you’d like to) and send it to Safe Routes.

The winner will receive a backpack filled with fun Safe Routes to School goodies and the winning essay will be published in the next Safe Routes newsletter.
