Glennwood Bike Safety Volunteers Needed
Decatur Metro | September 16, 2010From Decatur Active Living’s Cheryl Burnette…
Decatur Active Living is teaming with City Schools of Decatur and Safe Routes to School again this year to provide bicycle safety training for our 4th graders at Glennwood Academy. We are looking for volunteers to assist with this training which will be held at Glennwood. This is a great opportunity to make sure our children learn to ride bikes safely.
Dates for the training are September 21 & 22, and then on September 27, 27 & 29th. The morning shift is from 8 am until 10:45am and afternoon 11am until 2:15pm.
Please select the date and times you would like to volunteer and return to Cheryl Burnette by September 10th. This is a great way to get out in the community and help our youth with becoming active and safe commuters, as well as to have some fun!

Thanks Nick- this is a great opportunity for bikers and non-bikers to get involved with helping our children learn the rules of the road. I am also looking forward to brushing up on my bike rule knowledge. No experience is needed- we will train volunteers on the job!
I appreciate you passing this along.
My daughter and many others are new bike riders at Glennwood. She really enjoys riding her bike and I am comfortable with her riding knowing that there are AMAZING and fiercely protective crossing guards out there –THanks Decatur!.
I’m forward this email to parents whose children are riding their bikes–it would be helpful for parents to be personally involved in their children’s bike safety.
