Friendship Walk - Research shows how our mental and physical well-being can have an impact on learning. To commemorate Attendance Awareness Month, our school community is engaging in a Friendship Walk. This exercise is meant to celebrate our relationships with others and recognize how important forming trusted bonds is to our well-being. We will spend a few minutes getting outside, getting some fresh air, and connecting with others. 

Walk and Roll – For Walk, Bike, and Roll to school day, volunteers at Sternberger Elementary School will welcome students as they use alternative methods to come to class. Parents are encouraged to have conversations with their children about pedestrian safety.
