ST. ALOYSIUS’ CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL

School Motto Be ambitious for the higher gifts.

Monday, 13 May 2013 Dear Parents/Carers, Walk to School Week 2013 - 20th to 24th May This year we are participating in ‘Walk to School Week’ an initiative that takes place as part of National Walking month. Find out more at http://www.livingstreets.org.uk/walk-with-us/walk-to-school/walk- to-school-week At St Aloysius we are pretty good at walking, cycling, scooting and roller blading to school but we’d like to get even better! Of course we all know the health benefits but just imagine North with less traffic at drop off and collection times! So, during Walk to School Week we shall be encouraging as many families as possible to ditch the car and put their best foot forward. The children will be collecting data on modes of transport and Mrs Kempton, our very own Eco Warrior, has organised a Walking Bus from Cutteslowe taking place on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd May (see over for details). Join her en route…wear your very own reflective jacket (loaned by School)....and enjoy a chance to network with other like-minded parents over coffee and a croissant back at school. Kind Regards, Mr. Walker, Headteacher
