Helping out in schools is important. But before you just show up in the hallway, here are some tips from Shar McBee, author of "To Lead Is to Serve" (McBee, $14.95):

_Don't expect others to stop what they're doing to implement your ideas. If you want to offer advice, sign up for a planning committee.

_Suggest activities you are willing to execute yourself. Your ideas will get going if you are willing to offer your brawn as well as your brain.

_Don't just drop by the school. Attend an orientation _ or at least call ahead _ to find out what is needed and when.

Families across the country will walk to school together Wednesday as part of "Walk Your Child to School Day." The annual event is intended to promote daily exercise as well as pedestrian safety.
