Walk, Bike, or Roll to School Day
2024-10-09
Arlington Public Schools is celebrating National Walk and Bike to School day on Wednesday, October 9th. Tuckahoe is planning a fun-filled event and encourages you and your child to walk, bike, or roll to school. Walk and Bike to School Day also helps raise community awareness about the importance of pedestrian and bicycle safety education, safe routes to schools, well-maintained walkways, and traffic calming in our neighborhoods and around our schools. Visit Walk and Bike to School Day, Virginia’s Safe Routes to School, and Bike Arlington for tips and additional resources.
For safety purposes, we are asking bikers and walkers to use the sidewalks and crosswalks. Please do not walk, bike, or roll in the parking lot. The Tuckahoe staff and 5th grade Green Team will be assisting students with securing their bikes in front of the school and inside the playground. Walkers and bikers will line up by door 9 to ensure they get to their classrooms on time. If you walk, bike, or roll to school, stop by our tables in the fenced area to sign your name on our poster, take a picture, and enter a raffle for prizes. After school starts, raffle winners will be announced on the morning announcements. We look forward to seeing lots of bikers, walkers, and scooters!

Kindness Spirit Week
2026-01-26 - 2026-01-30
We are excited to share that our school will be participating in Kindness Spirit Week, aligned with the Great Kindness Challenge—a global initiative that encourages students to practice empathy, inclusion, and compassion through everyday actions. Kindness week will take place January 26-30.Throughout the week, students will engage in daily spirit themes and kindness activities at school. To extend this learning, we have attached the Great Kindness Challenge Checklist, which includes simple, age-appropriate acts of kindness students can complete at school, at home, or in the community. Students are encouraged to complete as many acts as they can and return their checklist to school by the end of the week.
Kindness Spirit Week Themes:
💙 Monday – Be Kind to Yourself DayStudents may wear comfy clothes or their favorite color as we focus on self-kindness and positive self-talk.
🧡 Tuesday – Kind Words DayWear something with words (shirt, jersey, or favorite character). Students will practice giving compliments and using kind words.
💛 Wednesday – Include Everyone DayWear school colors as we highlight inclusion and making sure everyone feels they belong.
💚 Thursday – Thankful Hearts DayWear green or hearts. Students will express gratitude by writing thank-you notes to staff and peers.
💜 Friday – Kindness Hero DayDress as a superhero or someone you admire as we celebrate being a kindness leader and standing up for others.
Family Kindness ChallengeWe invite families to join us by encouraging kindness at home! This could include sharing compliments at the dinner table, helping a neighbor, writing a thank-you note together, or completing checklist items as a family. These small moments help reinforce that kindness is a value we practice everywhere—not just at school.Thank you for partnering with us to support kindness, connection, and a positive school community. We look forward to a week filled with compassion and joy!
Warmly,
Tiffaney Knight, school counselor
