The schools have held the event for the last couple of years but this is the first year the city's Bike Walk Commission is involved.

Officials handed out Safe Routes to School educational materials and other fun treats outside the school.

Walk, Bike & Roll to School was celebrated earlier this month at Rowayton Elementary School and Cranbury Elementary School.

Also partnering in the event was Nuvance Health, the Norwalk Health department and the Norwalk public schools.
