Hike It / Bike It to School Day - Wednesday, October 5

This NEXT Wednesday, October 5th is national Hike It / Bike It to School Day! We are so excited to be participating in this nationwide wellness initiative!

Students and families who live close enough to safely walk or bike to school may do so from home.  Those who do not, can park at the First Avenue HyVee (812 South First Avenue).  We will be gathering on the South side of the building near the bike path.  Parents are welcome to join in the walk or bike with their child.  The route will be marked with balloons. HyVee's nutritionist is donating fruit and drinks for breakfast and she wants to join us for the walk.  We will aim to leave the parking lot around 7:45 a.m. 

K-6 students will be practicing sidewalk and street-crossing safety this week as a part of their Movement class. They have discussed the importance of bright clothing and biker's should be reminded to always wear a helmet.

If you choose to bike, bring a lock!

Whether from your home or from HyVee's parking lot we hope to see you join in!
