A busy month of May
The spring Safe Routes to School Program in Santa Clara concluded on a great note. Altogether, with the help of Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition staff and volunteers, we conducted a total of 17 bicycle and pedestrian rodeos. Through the rodeos, we taught important bicycle and pedestrian safety skills to over 400 students during the month of May!
Overall, during the spring of 2012, a total of 30 classroom presentations and bicycle and pedestrian rodeos reached nearly 800 students at six schools in Santa Clara: Briarwood Elementary, Bowers Elementary, Haman Elementary, Montague Elementary, Scott Lane Elementary, and Sutter Elementary.The Safe Routes to school program will resume at all of the same schools, and expand to Cabrillo Middle School, during the fall of 2012. We encourage you to get involved whenever possible, whether it’s by volunteering with bicycle/pedestrian rodeos and walking school buses/bike trains or by simply choosing to walk or bike with your kids on your way to school.Enjoy the summer!
