About the
pledge
Walking to and from school is an easy, low-cost way to build physical activity into every day. It builds confidence, reduces traffic congestion and creates safer, calmer streets. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Give kids the skills they need to be safe.
It's no secret our kids spend too much time in front of a screen. That's bad news when it comes to physical activity levels and obesity.

Schools and teachers are a big influence on the physical activity of their students. Make sure your kids have what they need to be active at school.
Monkey see, monkey do. Active parents are more likely to have active kids. Influence your kids' future by being active and creating opportunities for the whole family to move.

Our kids can't do it alone. Volunteer to coach a sport or help organize activities in your community. Be involved; you can make a difference in your kids' lives.
Create a positive sport experience for your kids
Help the kids you care about start off on the right foot. What we do with our children in the first 5 years is critical to their development.
