I am always sharing with you ways to help your children’s school. I feel that it’s very important that we help as much as we can. Teachers and parents can make the school year so much easier when working together with your child. Most people think that you have to give money to support your school. I know I am told that all the time when I ask parents to get involved. Most don’t understand that being involved and supporting your school don’t have to involve money from you. There are so many other ways. If Money is what your school needs the most in these tight budgets cut, you can find great Companies that are always holding contests or giveaways Just Like “Green Works”! This is where you come in and give your time to enter them!
In celebration of International Walk to School Month in October, the makers of Green Works naturally derived cleaners have created a fun Web site that helps families get involved in that daily trek to school – and win some green for their school. During the month of October, elementary and middle school students and their families can help their schools win one of five $5,000 grants – simply by walking or bicycling to school. Parents are invited to sign up online for the Walk to School Challenge at www.facebook.com/greenworks, and log their families’ walking or bicycling trips on behalf of their school. The five schools with the highest levels of participation will be eligible to win a $5,000 grant. Frequent walkers and bicyclists can also earn individual prizes, ranging from green shoelaces to reusable water bottles.
The Walk to School Challenge comes during a time of increased attention to the sedentary lifestyles of both adults and children throughout America. Walking and bicycling to school provides an easy way for many families to take a step towards more physical activity in their everyday routine and a more natural lifestyle. This not only gives time to exercise but also time to spend quality time with your child! So what are you waiting for!? Everyone benefits from this!
