Bike to School 

Wednesday, May 3rd is Bike to School Day! FCPS is encouraging students to strap on a helmet and lace up their shoes for National Bike & Roll to School Day. Additionally, we are pleased to announce that Braddock ES has three bike stations where students who wish to ride their bikes can store and lock their bikes. The bike stands are located between the cafeteria and the main entrance. For safety reasons, we have a camera that will monitor the bikes and any activity going on in that area.
