What’s Going On!

Bike DayMonday was bike to school day!  What an amazing turnout and what a great event.  There was off-roading around the baseball diamond, skipping rope speed bumps, a bike repair station (where you could get some air for you tires) and even a bike washing station.  BEST DAY EVER according to the kindergarteners.  Thanks to all the staff and parents for making this highly anticipated event so fantastic.
