this year. Many of these changes are based on comments received from
student customers and parents. Others are to bring the school meal
program into compliance with the Child Nutrition and WIC

fundraising, school stores and classrooms.

Every year, millions of children walk to school or to a bus stop.
School-age children are especially vulnerable to pedestrian crashes,
which result in tens of thousands of injuries and hundreds of deaths
each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety

The NHTSA said these injuries and deaths can be reduced if children
have a safe route to and from school, if they understand key traffic
safety rules, and if motorists who share the roadways obey traffic laws
and watch out for kids, and if parents, community leaders, and
politicians understand the dangers children face when walking to and
from school.

Parents registering their children in Department of Defense Dependent
Schools for the 2006-2007 school year, which begins Monday, must meet
