Walk to School Month 2009 Launch Events

'Count me in' in Southampton

The first week of October saw the national launch of Walk to School Month with 'Count me in' events taking place in schools as far-flung as Southampton, Sunderland, Wolverhampton, Redbridge and Dalkeith.

Each school was set a 'target' number of minutes to walk, and then, on the day of the event, all children made a special effort to walk to school wearing a 'Count me in' t-shirt and timing their walk.

The minutes were then added up on a special Walk to School 'You did it!' totaliser (pictured) and there was a much-appreciated launch of the (biodegradable) 'Count me in' balloons.
