Walk to School Day

Scarsdale Middle School students and teachers participated in the annual Walk to School Day early on Wednesday October 8. Teachers met students at assigned departure points to gather and walk to school.

Sponsored by the Scarsdale Middle School Physical Education Department this national event promotes the following:

• Physical Activity
• Safe pedestrian skills
• Awareness of our walkable community
• Concern for the environment
• Reduced traffic congestion and speed near schools
• Sharing faculty time with students

We caught up with physical education teachers Melissa Zeiler and Kevin Roemer who met a group of students at the Metro Deli on Palmer Avenue where some ordered breakfast before they walked to school.

We also saw groups of students and teachers making their way to school in groups along Mamaroneck Avenue. Scarsdale's neighborhood schools were originally designed to permit students to walk to school and the event proved how easy it can be.
