Walk & Roll to School Day
This year for the first time, AV Cato Elementary participated in Walk & Roll to School Day on Oct. 12th, 2022. Parents were invited to form “walking school busses”, take safe routes together with their neighbors, and walk or ride their bikes to school. In the classroom, teachers led discussions about travel safety procedures and completed safety travel activities with their students, such as Wordfinds and Crossword puzzles. We had over 100 students and families participate–thank you to everyone who was involved!
