Bike to School Day

Wednesday, May 8th

Poe Middle School is participating in Bike to School Day this Wednesday, May 8th!  Join children and adults around the nation to celebrate the benefits of bicycling!  Students who participate will receive incentives and should practice bike safety throughout their ride to school, including wearing a helmet and following the rules of the road.  Groups of students will be meeting at Braddock ES, the Parliaments High Rise, and the Wedgewood Community Center to ride in together.  Please contact Mr. Sheldon or your child's PE teacher with any questions.
