Dear Parents,

Union Elementary Students will observe “Walk to School Day” on Thursday, October 5, 2023. The goal of the walk varies from community to community. Some walks rally for safer and improved streets, some to promote healthier habits and some to conserve the environment. Whatever the reason, Walk to School events encourage a more walkable world – one community at a time.

In order to participate in this event and encourage physical fitness, the Sligo Elementary students will get off their regular bus at Sligo Presbyterian Church on October 5th and walk to Sligo Elementary School. Students will be escorted by teachers.

Non-bus students are welcome to join the bus students at the Sligo Presbyterian Church and walk with them. The first group will leave the Church at approximately 7:15 a.m. The last group will leave the Church around 7:40 a.m.

Breakfast will be served as usual at Sligo Elementary School.

If you permit your child to participate, please complete the permission slip below and return it to your child’s teacher no later than Wednesday, September 28, 2023.
