School is starting up in Omaha again this week. Between the cold weather and the piles (dare I say, mountains) of snow piled up everywhere, walking to school is going to be challenging!
First, please remember that although many kids will be arriving via family car, there are still plenty of kids that will be braving the elements. Please be extra cautious as you drive near schools, and keep an eye out for little people emerging from behind show piles as they attempt to cross the streets.
Second, please keep these little folks in mind when you are trying to decide if/when to shovel your sidewalks. Many kids don't have a choice but to walk to school, and they deserve to get there safely - as do the kids that have to walk a short distance to their bus stops - so shovel early and often for their sakes! (And don't forget to go around the corner if you live in a corner lot!)
Third, don't let the cold weather be a barrier to walking with your kids to school. If you dress in layers, it can be done quite comfortably! Once you get moving, you'll be surprised at how quickly you will warm up.
