Let's Go Bicycle Education Program

This past month at Valley View Elementary our 3rd-5th grade students have participated in the Let's Go Bicycle Education Program in Physical Education. The program provided a fleet of 34 bicycles, helmets and other curriculum materials. Valley View had a brand new fleet of bikes and helmets to use as the program continues to grow. Students participated in lessons on crossing the street safely, helmet safety, braking, signaling and more! The month was a highlight for many students! The goal is to continue to bike each year in Physical Education and build on students biking knowledge and enjoyment.
