Walk to School Day.  This statewide initiative is encouraging children to walk to school.  Parents are encouraged to walk with them.  A statewide coordinator has been hired at the Michigan Fitness Foundation to help schools promote the idea.  There are also alternatives for rural areas where kids cannot walk.  Encourage your school to participate!
