Smart Kids, Smart Walk, Let's Roll!
Alabama's First Daily Walking School Bus
|
What exactly is a Walking School Bus? Children meet at a designated “walk stop” each morning and walk to school under the supervision of adult “bus drivers”. In addition to having fun while getting daily exercise and learning street safety, children arrive to school ready to learn. These “buses” cut down on the traffic congestion and poor air quality associated with long car lines.

History
After a 6 year tradition of monthly themed “Smart Walks,” Baldwin County Trailblazers partnered with Fairhope Elementary School in 2013 to launch the first daily Walking School Bus program in the state of Alabama.
High Mileage Recognition Program
Students who walk 70% of the days of a month will receive a foot bead. The first month that a student walks 80% of the days in a month, they will receive a plastic WSB book bag tag.
WSB T-shirts
Students will be able to purchase a WSB t-shirt at the beginning of the school year.
