International Walk to School Day--October 5, 2011

Everyone is welcome to celebrate International Walk to School Day on October 5, 2011.  The Rogers City "Walking" School buses will be in operation with various community leaders and parents walking with the students to school.  Walking does a body good!  Come out and set an example on October 5, 2011.

Rogers City has participated in the Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program for over four years.  If you believe in walking as an important part of a healthy life you are welcome to get involved.  Please contact me and we will find a role for you to help with this great SR2S program

Walking School Bus

Last night City Council approved the Walking School Bus Program, providing payment of $9 per hour for up to 240 hours to two "Walking School Bus Coordinators." Funding is provided by the Michigan Fitness Foundation.

If you like to work with kids and parents, and you like to walk, this is a great opportunity to make some money doing something you like to do. You must pass a background check. The City is an equal opportunity employer. Contact Mark Slown at City Hall.
