Fall 2023: New Resources from Keiki Heroes

Walk & Roll to School Day is an annual event that involves communities around the globe to participate in environmentally friendly and healthy modes of transportation for students to get to school. Rolling can include walking aids, biking, roller skating, and skateboarding as transportation. Over time, this celebration has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school. This year, school communities in Hawai‘i can join the action on October 4, 2023, by hosting a Walk & Roll event at their school. 

Why Walk and Roll to School?

Walking and rolling are healthy, fun, and environmentally friendly alternatives to driving. They provide numerous benefits to children’s physical, emotional, and cognitive development:

• Improved physical health 
• Better academic performance 
• Greater Independence and Responsibility
• Reduced Traffic Congestion and Air Pollution
• Enhanced Social Connections
• Increased Happiness and Emotional Well-being
• Saves Money
