Celebrating Walk & Roll to School Month

Published on October 20, 2022

Ben Franklin Elementary, Robert Frost Elementary and Carl Sandburg Elementary were just some of the schools that recently participated in Walk and Roll to School Month, proclaimed by the Kirkland City Council for the month of October. 

Councilmember Amy Falcone joined students at Carl Sandburg Elementary. Students at Ben Franklin and Robert Frost elementaries got to meet their School Resource Officers and check out police patrol vehicles during Walk and Roll to School Week. 

Encouraging students and families to Walk and Roll to School is just one element of Kirkland’s Safer Routes to School Action Plans, adopted by the City Council to identify key steps to make walking, rolling, and riding the bus to school safer and more convenient in our community. 

Thank you to all who participated, and please remember to slow down for kids.
