The Gledhill Guardian

This morning’s Bike Rally was a huge success. The weather was perfect and the kids had fun learning bike safety and improving skills in the school yard.

Thank you to Officer John and his team of officers who helped organize and run our bike activity stations.

Several of the officers remarked at the large turnout of parents and how smoothly it ran with so many hands on deck. Thank you so much to all the parents who came to help out! Your help running stations and keeping the bikers organized was really appreciated. The kids had a great time and hopefully learned a few things.

Thank you to Mr. Currie for all his behind the scenes organizing, collecting permission forms and colour groupings.

Finally, thank you to Steve, with Velofix for donating his time and bringing his mobile bike shop to our event. He, along with several parents were our “Bike and Helmet Check” station. Kids got their helmets adjusted, brakes tested and tires pumped.

Bike Rally is tomorrow! In order to participate, students need to have brought in their permission form and have a bike helmet and bicycle.

Session #1: Grades 1, 2 and 3  – 8:50 – 10:05 am

Session #2: Grades 4, 5 and 6 – 10:20 – 11:30 am 

Thank you to all the parents who have indicated on their forms ans emailed that they will volunteer. We appreciate your help and look forward to your assistance tomorrow. We will meet at the back of the school after drop off at 8:40am and get organized.

The students will be rotating through stations. We will need some parents to stay at specific stations and others to stick with classes as they rotate around the yard. IMPORTANT: For safety, students are required to dismount from their bikes and WALK them from station to station. Parents please discuss this with your children if you have a chance this evening.

Velofix will be with us to help kids with any last minute tune up needs.

Students should bring their bikes in the morning and park them in the indicated areas at the back of the school. Each class has been assigned a colour. Colours are marked in chalk on the brick of the school.
