Suisun Elementary

Suisun City

Principal Ann Marie Nuebert has piloted Suisun Elementary into becoming a growing Champion School in the Solano Safe Routes to School program. The school participates in many events and activities throughout the school year. Teachers, Roxie De La Rosa and Elizabeth Brent lead the SR2S effort at the school and provide guidance and motivation to the students.

These champion teachers and the students have made International Walk to School Day a major school event for the last 2 years. In 2018, Suisun Elementary School’s Student Leadership partnered with a local high school’s leadership team to plan the event. Over 150 students walked with parents and caregivers to school, exceeding the expectations for the first-time event.

In 2019, to accommodate an even larger group of participants, the school designated a meet-up location at Heritage Park in Suisun City. The park is located ¾ of a mile from the school. Over 250 students, parents, teachers, and administrators participated in the walk that morning. There were joined by officers from the Suisun City Police Department to help keep the walkers safe as they crossed city streets. The kids and adults had fun walking together, shouting, cheering and holding banners, and arrived to a group celebration at school. This school is thinking outside the box and engaging other student leaders to make this yearly event a success!

Watch as Suisun Elementary students, parents and staff arrive for International Walk to School Day 2018!
