During the PTA meeting, send your school-aged child over to the pavilion/playground where Coach Broff will be doing a hands-on bike and scooter rodeo/clinic that will support what they are learning in PE for Bike Safety Week. Children can bring their own scooters, bike and helmets or use one of the demonstration bikes.  After the meeting, parents can join the students to participate. 

The main topics for the rodeo are: 
- how to correctly wear a bike helmet
- how to cross the street with a bike
- where to ride the bike (when to use a sidewalk or when to use the street)
- how to follow street signs
- riding a bike under control
- bike Inspection before riding the bike

In addition to spirit sticks for participation, there will be a drawing to give away a Micro Sprite Scooter (Intermediate Student) and a Micro Maxi LED Deluxe Scooter (Primary Student). Both prizes come with a new helmet!
