Bike to School Week- June 2-6

6/2/2025

 

We’re excited to let you know that Lord Tennyson is participating in Walk, Bike or Roll to School Week next week from Monday, June 2nd to Friday, June 6th.

This event encourages students and families to choose active modes of travel to get to and from school throughout the week. The benefits of active travel include reduced traffic in school areas and students feeling energized and ready to learn when they arrive at school.

Active travel includes biking, walking, scootering, skateboarding, roller blading, etc. to get to school. Many families need to drive to school; parking a block or two away and walking or scootering from there is an amazing way to get involved next week.

When:
Monday - Friday, 8:40 - 9:00am
Where:
There will be tables setup in the courtyard
What:
1. Each child tracks their participation - come write your name on your division's tracking sheet in the courtyard. The division (one primary, one intermediate) with the highest percentage of class participation over the entire week wins freezies on Friday.  2. Daily quizzes on active transportation and safety. Children are encouraged to ask parents, teachers, and friends for help. A correct answer gets an entry into a daily prize draw, which will be announced at the end of each day.  3. Celebration breakfasts each morning in the courtyard. Volunteer for the morning.
