October 8: International Walk and Roll to School Day
Fremont Unified has at least 36 schools participating in 2025 International Walk and Roll to School Day (IWR2SD), an annual event held by schools across the world to encourage students, caregivers, and the school community to walk, roll, or use other active modes of transportation to get to school.
Most Fremont Unified schools are participating on Wednesday, October 8, though some may celebrate on alternate date.
Participating schools tally the mode of transportation by which students arrive to school on IWR2SD by placing a sticker on a mode chart. Schools may also hand out prizes and host special guests from the community to cheer on students arriving at school.
