Bike-a-thon Tomorrow!

Thank you to all who has volunteered to help tomorrow with our first annual bike-a-thon!

Just a couple of things:

Volunteers – please see Lisha Snyder for your name badges at the beginning of your classes recess (or at the beginning of your shift, if you are signed up for the snack table, etc…).

Parents – If you are unable to attend the bike-a-thon and take your child’s bike home prior to the end of the day, please try to arrive for pick-up around 1:45, so we can load the bikes before the kids are released. This will also help keep traffic moving and not cause a back-up at 2:00.

Looking forward to a beautiful day and a successful event!
