Walk and Roll to School Day

Register your school's event at WalkBikeToSchool.org

In previous years, we have had over 40 BVSD schools register, the most in the state of Colorado!

Fill out this form for our Safe Routes to School team. A member of our team will contact you about fulfilling your requests.

We have Walk to School Day stickers donated from the Colorado Department of Transportation.

Made in Nature has generously donated packs of dried Mango for the event. The School Food Project has offered to donate 50 apples at six schools for volunteers to hand out. Please fill out this form to request snacks.

This year we will partner once again with Eco-Cycle to collect used shoes that will be sorted and sent to communities in need. This is a great way for families to donate shoes that they have outgrown or no longer need (and keep them out of landfills). Taylor Moving and Storage has generously donated sturdy boxes for the event. To request a box and signs, please fill out this form for our Safe Routes to School Team.

Families can drop off boots, sandals, sneakers, and dress shoes tied or banded together. New this year, we can also accept cleats and snow boots. The shoes will be sent to Eco-Cycle partners at Soles 4 Souls, who will repurpose the shoes domestically to communities in need.

The Used Shoe Collection will run through the end of October. Our goal is to divert 2,000 pounds of shoes from the landfill. Once the collection period is over, please tape up the boxes and contact SafeRoutes@bvsd.org to let us know your box is ready to be picked up.

Interested in hosting a shoe drive? Contact Colorado@Soles4souls.org to learn about collecting shoes for volunteer hours!

If your school would like to participate in a Ride and Stride (where bused kids get dropped off at a satellite location to get the chance to walk to school too) here is what you need to know:

• Only schools with BVSD bus transportation are eligible

• You must get your principal's approval

• You will need to recruit some volunteers to meet the students and walk with them.

• You need to determine a suitable location for the buses to drop off kids.

• Confirm with your school whether students with special needs will participate.  Confirm if preschool classes will participate.

• Contact SafeRoutes@bvsd.org or complete the Walk to School Day survey.
