On May 4th Northeast Elementary School will join over 200 schools across the state in celebration of Massachusetts Walk to School Day. Over 275 studentsfrom the Northeast School are expected to participate in the event.

Walk to School events aim to help create safer routes for walkers and cyclists as well as reinforce the importance of physical activity for children and adults alike. Northeast’s commitment to walking includes two walking programs. One in the fall and and one in the winter as well as pedestrian safety training for Grade 2 students and a walking club at recess.    For additional information abou the event contact: Nadene Stein at 781-314-5745 or nadenestein@k12.waltham.ma.us.
