Shout Outs and Sound Off

Beth RichardsWe love it when Safe Routes to School volunteers and champions share what is happening in their community with us!

So let's give some shout outs - through photos - of some great local work. Let's hear from you! Sound off and let me know what issues you are facing when it comes to engaging more parents, students and schools in Safe Routes to School. What resources could the Safe Routes Partnership provide to help you engage more volunteers, etc.?  Send me your thoughts via email at beth@saferoutespartnership.org. Please keep sending us your great stories and photos, like us on Facebook and share our posts.  The more we share our successes and talk together, the more people will join us for a walk or ride and the stronger the Safe Routes to School movement will become.

Check out these great local successes and thanks again for all you do!
