(Hartley)– Kindergarten students in the Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn Community School District will have a unique opportunity to learn how to ride a bike.
Thanks to an effort led by PE teacher Janet Prins, the H-M-S community raised the funding needed to acquire specially equipped learn-to-ride bikes, helmets and curriculum.
The district is partnering with a national organization, All Kids Bike, to offer the program. The organization’s goal is to teach every child how to ride a bike in kindergarten PE class. The program offers continued support for each school to ensure everyone involved is successful for five years.
Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn will begin the program this spring.
