PARK AND WALK TO SCHOOL DAY

               

15^th September 2011 – Alarm clocks were reset, in most homes today morning. Children were motivated to leave their beds early while parents made arrangements to reach Lanco Hills Gate. The reason being it was a “Park and Walk to School Day”. ENVIRONMENTALLY ACTIVE Oakridgers had gathered at this point beaming with excitement for the Walk to flag off. It was a short walk indeed and each one held the spirit high of “respecting mother earth” doing their bit in supporting a cause.

While parents mingled amongst others, trying to set up a carpool system, children after the walk enjoyed a poster making session. Then it was regular school time and cars / buses came zooming in with children. By this time the participants of the walk had lined up on pavement alongside the entry road, displaying posters with catchy captions trying their best to spread the message of saving fuel and hence saving the environment.

Children from primary to the senior secondary along with teachers and parents joined hands in conserving the precious environment and spreading awareness on the significance of Car-Pooling.
