October 9th is International Walk n Roll to School Day which is a global event representing communities across 40+ countries walking and rolling to school on the same day. It began in 1997 as a one-day event, over time, it has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school.
Join us in walking, biking, scootering, or rolling to school to build a love of human-powered movement, encourage healthy lifestyles, emphasize the safety of those who walk, bike or use other mobility devices, and help the environment. “Walking school buses” and bike parking are offered (details below). An adult family member must accompany students.

Walking School Buses
Because the Hacienda family comes from all over town, feel free to join one of our “Walking School Buses” for the last leg of your journey as a fun way to participate! The Walking School Bus will be gathering at 8:15am and leaving at 8:30 am, from the southeast corner of Paul Moore Park (Cherry & Myrtle) to walk the three blocks to Hacienda together. Bikers and those on manual-powered wheels) are welcome to join in the walking school bus, but they will be traveling at their own pace as a self-directed subgroup . Please note that students joining the Walking School Bus need an adult companion. The bus rolls at 8:30 sharp! Signs are welcome!
Bike /Wheeled Parking
Secure parking for your bikes will be available inside the cafeteria for the school day. To expedite parking, please put your child’s name and grade level on their bike. Blue painter’s tape is suggested for easy removal. The bike rack outside the school office will also be available; a lock is recommended.
