Dear Students and Families,
It was great to see so many students participating in Bike to School Day yesterday. We hope you were keeping track for the bike-a-thon! You still have one week in which to participate in the Escuela Collingwood School Bike-a-thon We are already 2/3 of the way towards our goal of raising $6,000 to improve the bike racks.
As many of you will have experienced yesterday, the bike racks at Collingwood were originally designed to keep bikes standing up, and they do not accommodate modern locks because it is hard to get bikes close enough to the bars to lock them up properly. We recognize that having proper bike locks will make it easier for more children to ride their bikes to school - thereby increasing physical activity, decreasing congestion during drop-off, and helping to protect the environment by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
The last day to participate will be Thursday, June 13. Participation prizes will be announced on Sports Day.
Students’ supporters can choose to sponsor kids for each kilometer they ride, per trip to/from school, per bike ride in the evening or on the weekends for kids who do not live within biking distance of school, or with a lump sum contribution. Donations large or small will all go to the Collingwood School Parent Association in support of the refurbishment.
Happy cycling and thank you for participating!
From,
The Collingwood School Parents’ Association
