Clairemont Elementary to be Featured on GA Walk to School Day March 2nd2/19/11 Clairemont Elementary has been selected by GDOT's Safe Routes to School Resource Center to be the featured school for the second annual Georgia Walk to School Day event on March 2, 2011. Based on the success of last year’s event, this year the Resource Center has selected a school to showcase. This recognition will highlight Clairemont's 6-year commitment to the SRTS program and their countless successes in transforming student commuting behavior. Though Clairemont was one of Georgia’s first SRTS programs, their process can be adopted by any school that is looking to increase their walking and biking population. After arriving at school on GA Walk to School Day, students will gather in the auditorium for the morning assembly. Highlights of the assembly include student-made videos of their experiences walking and biking to school, words of encouragement from Decatur Mayor Bill Floyd, and representatives from the Georgia Department of Transportation and the GA SRTS Resource Center. |
