2015 International Walk-To-School Day


2015 INTERNATIONAL WALK-TO-SCHOOL DAY at OMS

The aim of this event is to encourage healthier habits, bring awareness to environmental concerns, and maintain safe routes to school.  We hope many OMS families will join us on this day, as well as consider this a preferred option for getting to and from school throughout the year.  Olive teachers and staff will walk with students on each of these routes.  Start time is indicated below.
