Volunteers Needed! In order to host a successful event, we also need volunteers to make this event successful and safe! If you're interested, please complete this FORM along with the volunteer application (if you haven't already completed a volunteer form) and BCI check at the board office for only $10. Lisa Schlumbohm, parent volunteer, will be helping to organize the event.

Additionally, a permission slip is attached and will be sent home with all students. Please return it to the office by Monday, April 27.

Please note, if there is inclement weather, or a school cancellation/delay this event will be canceled. Also, parents are responsible for getting their child home or coordinating a pick up point.

Why bike or roll to school? This initiative promotes physical activity, teaches safe pedestrian and bicycling skills to children, addresses environmental concerns, and helps reduce traffic and pollution. Plus, it's a lot of FUN!

We look forward to seeing you at Bike & Roll to School Day on May 6!
