International Walk to School Day is a global event that involves communities from more than 40 countries walking and biking to school on the same day. It began in 1997 as a one-day event. Over time, this event has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school and a celebration – with record breaking participation – each October.

This is an opportunity to advocate for safe routes for pedestrians in Andover and for lowering our carbon emissions with fewer car trips. Whether you’re head to High Plain or the Andover High, Pike or West Middle, walk or bike to school on October 6!
