One of the best parts of an elementary school community is seeing students arrive each morning talking with friends, getting exercise, and developing independence. That's why we're excited to continue our Walktober Wednesdays tradition. 

Each Wednesday in October, you are invited to meet at the Mukilteo Library at 8:20 a.m. and enjoy a group walk or roll to school. Everyone is welcome to join, but students MUST be accompanied by a grownup. This is a fun way to connect with other families, get some fresh air, and start the school day energized. 

This event is also a great reminder that walking to school doesn't have to be limited to Wednesdays. Whenever possible, consider walking from home or trying a "Drive to Five" routine by parking a short distance away and walking the rest of the trip. These small opportunities help children develop confidence, responsibility, and healthy habits. It also helps them arrive ready to learn while reducing traffic congestion around our campus.

A friendly reminder: if you are joining our Walktober Wednesday group, please plan to park at the Mukilteo Library rather than in the school parking lot. Our parking lot is extremely busy and at capacity each morning. We need to reserve available spaces for staff members and families who require school access.

Thank you for helping us promote healthy habits, greater student independence, and a safer, smoother arrival experience for everyone. We look forward to seeing you on our Walktober Wednesday walks!

In partnership,

Mr. Denton
