Walk to School Week!

This week Cedars School is joining with all the other primary schools across Inverclyde to participate in Walk to School Week.

The initiative has been running for the past few years and encourages children to walk to school. It is aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle and demonstrating how dependent we can often be on our cars when in fact, walking would be just as easy, as healthier.
Obviously, in Cedars, we have pupils traveling in to school from as far away as Largs and Kilmacolm, where it would be impossible for them to walk. In these cases we would encourage you to still participate in the weeks activities through something the organisers call 'Park and Stride' where children are dropped a safe walking distance from the school and walk the rest.

We will be keeping statistics of the number of pupils who walk during this week and submitting them along with all other Inverclyde schools. The winning school receives a trophy called the 'Golden Shoe'.

We really appreciate the support of our parents and families in this venture.
