A couple of weeks ago, the Brooklyn City School District introduced the Walk, Bike, & Roll To School program. 

October 5 was National Walk to School Day, and some local schools participated in this, along with the BCSD. Those schools included Chagrin Falls Elementary School, Chagrin Falls Middle School, and Rocky River Middle School.

Students, teachers, staff, and family members were all encouraged to join this program to show off their Hurricane pride by walking to school. 

Even though October 5 was National Walk to School Day, the BCSD made the entire week thematic to get more people involved.

• Monday, October 3 – “October Stomp Out Bullying” – Students and staff wore orange to represent a week of no bullying. 
• Tuesday, October 4 – “Walk Together, Dress Alike, Twin day” – Students matched friend(s).
• Wednesday, October 5 – “Let’s go for a WALK WITH OUR LOCAL HEROES” – Brooklyn Fire and Brooklyn Police Departments walked and rode bikes along next to the school walkers.
• Thursday, October 6 – “Let’s go for a me & my guy walk” – Students wore their favorite sports team’s attire, and important male figures in students’ lives were encouraged to walk with them to school.
• Friday, October 7 – “Let’s go for a show your school spirit walk” – Students wore blue and gold to show school spirit.  

In other news, band members at Brooklyn High School traveled over the weekend to Ohio State University to perform in the stadium. There were 44 schools that got invited to perform, and some schools even got judged by Ohio State’s band department for their performances.

Mr. Larson, BHS assistant principal and the band’s announcer for last Saturday stated the following: “This was the band’s greatest performance of the year, and they have had a great season, all-around.”

Great job, Hurricanes!
