We will be kicking off our second Walk n Roll event of the school year on Wednesday, May 3 with an exciting two-part harmony - AM and PM activities!

MORNING WALK N ROLL

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). Students must be accompanied by an adult family member.

AFTERNOON BIKE RODEO

After school, starting at 3:15pm, we’re partnering with the City of San Jose to offer a Bike Rodeo for our students! This free skills clinic will help our young riders learn safety skills as they have fun navigating a set course on the blacktop. All manual-powered wheels (bikes, scooters, skateboards, wheelchairs, rollerskates, etc) are welcome! Duration is 1-1.5 hours.  RSVPs highly encouraged: https://forms.gle/Na8GfLUGM7d2js5r6 or fill out a paper form (attached in Mr. Weber’s Sunday messages). Students must be accompanied by an adult family member.

DETAILS

*The traffic circle will be closed on Wed May 3 to safely accommodate WnR students at the front of the school

*Walking school buses will arrive at the front entrance (Kimberly Dr). A secondary WnR entrance will be at the kinder gate (Gardendale Dr) 

*For everyone’s safety, we ask that bicyclists walk their bikes on the sidewalk as they approach campus.

*Helmets are required for minors riding bikes

WALK N ROLL - 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 volunteer-led Walking School Buses will be leaving in two shifts, 8:15 am and 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 subgroup due to their faster pace. Please note that students joining the Walking School Bus will need an adult companion.  The last 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.

Prizes

All student participants will get a Walk n Roll prize!
