• Today is National Bike and Roll to School Day. Be aware that our kiddos will be out and about. Drive slowly, keep an eye out for them, and encourage your student to participate! Biking increases physical fitness, creates a sense of adventure and is better for the environment. Check out the website for events near you. (Walk Bike)
