Share On Social!

Schools and parents in Miami Shores are joining the movement to make biking and walking to school easier for local students. This year students from three schools in Miami Shores—Doctors Charter School of Miami Shores, Miami Shores Community Church School, and St. Rose of Lima Parish—all joined in on the excitement of National Bike to School day.

In this video, parent Patrice Gilspie-Smith speaks of a survey she is conducting to find out how parents feel about their kids walking to school. According to Gilspie-Smith, parents would love for their kids to walk to school, but they feel that the high traffic in the area is intimidating.
