GUELPH, ON - With the warmer weather beginning, spring is the perfect time to get active outdoors. Spring into Spring is an annual celebration of starting the new season which encourages students, families and staff to spend more time being active outdoors throughout the month of April.
This April, schools across Ontario will be promoting walking, rolling, biking and other fun ways to get to school.
Walking or rolling/wheeling to school contributes to:
Reduced vehicular traffic near the school entrance, which improves road safety
Reduced noise and air pollution from excessive vehicle use
Improved levels of physical activity among children
Improved student cognitive development and brain health
Improved student memory, attention in class and academic performance
Is a great way to reconnect with your peers
Ontario Active School Travel has many resources available including activities for grades K-6, spring colouring sheets and a spring word search. Learn more on their website.
