Ressie Jeffries Elementary seeks donations for Kindergarten biking program

Kindergartners at Ressie Jeffries Elementary may soon be riding bikes in their PE classes.

All Kids Bike® is a national program on a mission to teach every child in America how to ride a bike. They are currently working to bring the All Kids Bike Kindergarten PE Program to Ressie Jeffries Elementary. The program equips schools with everything they need to teach children how to ride; teacher training and certification, a structured 8-lesson curriculum, a fleet of Strider® 14x Bikes, Pedal Conversion Kits, fully-adjustable helmets, and a five-year support plan.

Launched in March 2018, there are already 550 schools in 50 states with All Kids Bike Kindergarten PE Programs.

PE Teacher, Nick Simmons, who applied for the program said: “Being able to provide this program to our students would be an amazing opportunity. As a Physical Education teacher, I strive to find activities that our students can participate in at home to keep them active, and riding a bike fits that bill. Having a class set of Strider Bikes would ensure that we are able to teach students not only how to ride, but to also do so safely.”

The Kindergarten PE Program is designed for children of all abilities and hopes to instill healthy habits at a young age. “One of the best ways to get kids active is to get them excited about bicycles,” says All Kids Bike board member Ryan McFarland, “It’s a skill that is going to serve them in life.”
