BIKE TRAIN & BIKE RODEO TOMORROW

Good afternoon Raft families,

This is a friendly reminder that the Bike Train will start tomorrow - 8 am at the Rotary Skate Park. It will leave by 8:10 am.

We will also have the Bike Rodeo starting at 9 am at Raft. Bikes can be dropped off at the back courtyard if not biking to school. We will have signage out in the morning to indicate where each class will store their bikes.

Please note that any students participating require a helmet. Students are expected to walk their bike or scooter once on school grounds or while exiting school grounds for safety purposes.

Take care,

Mrs. Lafleur
