We're backing schools to set up walking buses and other solutions, with parents and volunteers helping local kids get to class safely.
We wrote to the nation's mayors pleading with them to lower speed limits outside schools, and many have come back to us with expressions of support. We talked to well-known New Zealanders with school-aged kids, and they united behind the campaign.
You can get involved too. We know people are busy, so the Sunday Star-Times and Neighbourly are encouraging families to choose one day a week when they and their kids walk, scoot, cycle - even ride a horse if that's what works for you!
I've chosen Mondays as the days I'll cycle to school with my 6-year-old son. And Neighbourly has set up a special pledge page, where you can choose a day when you will try to Foot It with your kids, talk with others doing the same - and go into the draw to win one of 50 Micro scooters. www.neighbourly.co.nz...

They may not live in a flash part of town and money may be scarce but Ponui and Putikaa Marsden-Wilson are two Tokoroa kids going places.
For the past year the brother and sister, who are 12 and 10 respectively, have been earning their pocket money by weaving flax flowers and selling them for $2 each outside shops throughout the South Waikato, Matamata, Rotorua, and Taupo areas.
They save up the money for school trips, special occasions like buying costumes for Halloween, picture day, and other bits and pieces.

Hi neighbours, if you were looking to go for a dip in the Tirau Summer Pools you might have to wait a bit longer.

The 7.5 magnitude earthquake centred near Hanmer Springs in the South island on Monday is believed to have caused issues with the foot valve in the balance tank at the end of the main pool in Goodwin St.
South Waikato District Council communications manager Kerry Fabrie said the pools would be out of action for some days while repair work and further testing was carried out.
This morning's earthquake may have unsettled a few things including power lines. If you see a downed power line please stay away!
