My Project

For the past two years, our school's PE program has been working hard to promote bike helmet safety and prevent injuries through education. Luckily, bike riding is a safe outdoor activity for the whole family! Our program teaches children bike and helmet safety and provides a chance for physical exercise as well.

Helmets are an important part of bike safety.

Please help our class purchase these helmets, so we can be safe while riding our bikes outside. To help ensure the safety of students during bike week(s), we are seeking new bicycle helmets.

Let's have fun riding bikes!
