To promote Walk to School Day on
October 7, Montgomery County Department of Transportation is hosting a Safe Routes to School Contest from September 28
through October 16. Students can participate by providing their name, parent or
student email address, and school name on the redesigned Safe Routes
to School website. Students will earn extra entries by taking photos of themselves
walking to school and posting them on Twitter and/or Instagram using the
hashtag #walk2schoolMOCO. Four student winners will receive $50 Chipotle gift
cards. The principal from the school that receives the most contest entries
will receive an office lunch party (rewarded as a $100 Visa gift card), a
feature in a Montgomery County newsletter, and a certificate of recognition
from Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett.
