Step Into WALKTOBER Each year in October, North Natomas students take to the streets to celebrate ditching the car and walking to school. Schools mark the occasion with their very own Walk to School Day party, chock full of tasty refreshments and DJ-led dancing. Parents are encouraged to walk to school with their students and join the festivities. Mark your calendar for your school's party:
Details about each school's walking programs can be found here.

Slow Your Roll Attention, Sacramento drivers. You are now required to slow down even more when driving through a school zone. That's because the city council voted to reduce the speed limit from 25 mph to 15 mph. In 2016, the California Office of Traffic Safety released a list that ranked Sacramento #1 for having the most traffic-related pedestrian deaths for people under the age of 15. That unpleasant news spawned an effort to change all that. The result is Sacramento's Vision Zero plan, which focuses on different ways to eliminate traffic injuries. That's something we can all support. Learn more about Vision Zero in school zones here. |

The More You (and Your Kids) Know... Biking is best done responsibly and safely, but how does one acquire such wisdom? One of the best ways is Project Ride Smart. It's essentially a 5th grade driver's ed, but for bikes. The 10-hour course, led by certified bike instructors, teaches traffic principles and on-bike handling skills, and it culminates with rides on neighborhood streets. This fall, Project Ride Smart is heading to Natomas Park Elementary and Westlake Charter. Not your school? Not to worry! Anyone can learn some skills by checking out our video series. It's made for kids, but adults won't mind watching it together with them. It's quality family learning time. BYO-Popcorn.
