Get ready, bundle up, and put on your best snow boots because Wednesday February 11th is Winter

Walk to School Day in Waterloo Region! We love the winter, and even though it’s cold outside, we know

how important it is to do our part and walk to school when we can. Since walking to school is healthy, it

protects the environment and is fun, Tait St. P.S. students are invited to join students from

across the Region and walk to school on Winter Walk to School Day!

Don’t worry, the school will be nice and warm when you get here.

Did You Know?

Children who bike or walk to school learn better:

• Students arrive at school awake and ready to learn

• More attentive and able to concentrate

• Advanced mental alertness by half a school year

• More benefit for mental development than having breakfast and lunch!
