Guess what? Bike Day is on its way....

March 2017

Dear Parents,

On Monday, April 3rd, 3rd  and 4th grade students will go to our Goochland campus to learn about helmet and bike safety. To participate in bike day, your daughter will need to bring a helmet to school. Any helmet with the CPSC, Snell or ASTM stamp of approval is a perfectly safe helmet. To help ensure that all students have a helmet on bike day, please send helmets in by Thursday, March 30th.

The 3rd grade will leave St. Catherine’s at 9am and return at 12:30pm. The 4th grade will leave St. Catherine’s at 11am and return at 2:30pm. The entire group will eat lunch together from 11:30-12pm.

Please make sure that your daughter wears appropriate clothes and that she packs a lunch, water bottle, and sunscreen on Monday, April 3rd.

Before bike day, please take some time with your daughter to review biking and helmet safety by going to www.youtube.com and searching “NHTSA's Bike Safe, Bike Smart” for a short video.

We look forward to teaching your daughters about biking skills and safety.

Laura Horn

Chair, Physical Education Department
