National Bike to School Day

National Bike To School Day was held on Wednesday, May 8, and had great participation from Klager and Riverside students, staff, school board and administration, village representatives, as well as parents and community members.

All told, coordinator Kathy O’Mara estimated 80 participants–with 65 student walkers and bikers and 15 or so adults. “This was probably the best year so far for bikes,” she added.

Walking and bicycling to school continues each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday through the end of the school year. There are just 10 walking days left, but that means there is still time for loyal walkers and riders to get a chance for some of the excellent end-of-the-year prizes being offered! Every 10 walks will make students eligible for the drawings.
