Walk to School Week 10/3-10/7....

It is once again time for walk to school week! Walking to school is good for your health and good for the enviornment! Did you know that the average car produces 5.5 tons of pollution (carbon dioxide) a year?! To absorb that pollution caused by a single car, a forest of about 4.5 acres is required! That is bigger than the size of Field Park, right next to Mann School!

There are a whole host of activities going on at Mann Elementary this week. I encourage everyone to take part! One way to show your support for this event is to wear a specific color each day. Here is our schedule...

Monday: Students (and staff!) wear RED for transportation safety.

Tuesday: Students wear BLUE for water conservation.

Wednesday: (The official international walk to school day!) Students wear GREEN for reducing waste in landfills.

Thursday: Students wear YELLOW for energy conservation.

Friday: Students wear their favorite sports team attire. No Cubs gear as you will not be permitted in room 108. Just kidding! :) There will be a mini walk-a-thon at Field Park in the morning...be there or be square!
