  • Why join Safe Routes to School?

    By committing 20 to 30 minutes out of your day, you can help change the habits of an entire generation of school children.

  • Health:

    Children today are not getting enough physical activity. Inactivity can lead to unhealthy weight gain and the health problems that come with it.

  • Academic Performance:

    According to a study published the journal Preventive Medicine, physical activity helps improve overall performance on academic achievement tests by 6 percent.

  • Traffic Congestion:

    Neighborhoods are becoming increasingly clogged by traffic. By boosting the number of children walking and bicycling, Safe Routes to School helps reduce traffic congestion and your carbon footprint.

  • Park and Walk
  • Grab ‘N’ Go school breakfast
  • Ready to walk and roll?
Live too far to walk or bike from home? No problem! Join parents at the Carrollton GreenBelt trailheads located at Target (off Highway 27 in McIntosh Plaza), Hays Mill Road (480 Hays Mill Road, immediately north of the Hays Mill Overlook subdivision) or the CVS on Maple Street.
Everybody knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But not everyone has time to sit down and enjoy a healthy meal at home before school. Carrollton City Schools has a solution to that problem with its School Breakfast Program. Grab ‘N’ Go breakfast options are also available, so students can grab a nutritious breakfast and eat it in the classroom.
To learn more about Safe Routes to School, visit www.carrolltoncityschools.net/parents or call Get Healthy, Live Well at 770.812.9871. Our Safe Routes to School program is funded in part by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
