Walk & Roll to School Day

International Walk & Roll to School Day is an annual event that encourages students, families, and school communities to walk, scoot, roll, or bike to school. 

This year’s celebration took place on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. About 40-50 students, parents, and faculty of Geyserville Elementary School met at the Park & Ride and walked to school as one large group. Northern Sonoma County firefighters escorted the group, providing safety for walkers. The students were very excited to have a fire engine in attendance and asked for the sirens to be activated. Energy and spirits were high as one group of students raced to the school.

Safe Charging is a Superpower

October is Fire Prevention Month. Everyday charging habits can help reduce the risk of lithium-ion battery fires and keep homes and communities safer. Many devices used in our daily lives - phones, tablets, laptops, tools, toys, e-bikes, and scooters—run on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which store a lot of energy in a small space. If they are damaged or charged the wrong way, they can overheat, start a fire, or even explode.

Use Your Charging Superpowers!

• Cheap charger? Don't chance it. Use the cord and charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer.
• Soft surface? Hard pass. Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or bare floor.  
• Fully charged? Time to unplug. Unplug your device when it is fully charged.   
• For tools and rides, charge outside. Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging.
• Feels hot? Stop using it. Stop using your device if it feels very hot, starts to swell, smells strange, leaks, smokes, or makes popping or hissing sounds.
• On a flight? Keep it in sight. When on a plane, keep devices where you can see them while charging. Do not charge e-cigarettes or vapes on the plane. Tell a flight attendant if you notice a problem with your device.

Plug in. Power up. Stay safe.
