Joaquin Miller Elementary held its first Bike And Walk To School Day on Wednesday, May 6. More than 300 families gave permission for their children to bike, walk or scooter to school, according to event coordinators.
The Miller Elementary Bike and Walk to School Day was organized by Anna Tagmazyan, Miller Elementary School Community Resource Assistant along with Burbank Transportation Management Organization (BTMO) Executive Director Kyle Maetani.
Free event t-shirts, bike lights and reflective wrist bands were provided by BTMO and Nickelodeon.
“This is the first year Miller Elementary participated in Bike and Walk to School Day and it was a huge success,” commented Tagmazyan. “Parents, grandparents and caretakers walked to school with students.”
“Students were greeted by our principal Judy Hession and were super excited when I started to hand out the wristbands and the bike lights,” she added. “This event encouraged kids to walk more in order to stay healthy.”
