My Project

This year we were very lucky to have the PTA help support us purchasing bikes and helmets for our Physical Education program. All of our students in grades K-3 learned how to ride a balance bike and then when they were ready they transitioned onto a pedal bike. Now many of the students now can ride a bike and they were so proud of themselves!

Bike riding is a life-long skill that promotes a healthy lifestyle that students will take with them for the rest of their lives, all while decreasing our planet's carbon footprint.

I am asking for these caps/hats to help stop the spread of germs from one students' head to another due to the mass amount of students riding the bikes.
