Happy Bike To School Day, !
If your kids walked, biked, rolled, scooted, or took public transit to school instead of driving: Hurray!!!! Three cheers for choosing a more active, joyful and sustainable lifestyle π₯³π₯³π₯³
Another reason we love this holiday - is that it is SUPER easy to organize a small celebration, and start spreading joy in your community - even with just 2-3 families to get started.
(We also love huge bike buses, mega neighborhood rides and major community events! But not every neighborhood is there yet - and we think it's great to start where you are.)
Here's how to organize:
1) Pick a date that works for you
You don't have to use the official national date - any day in October that works for your community can "count."
2) Spread the word
The national website has great premade graphics you can use. Share these on your classroom group chat, school newsletter or bulletin board and emphasize that all are welcome. (Need a Spanish version? Let us know, we made one last year...)
3) Celebrate!
Play music, blow bubbles, hand out snacks or stickers and celebrate kids who walked or biked to school. One fun and easy idea is a banner that kids can decorate with markers or stickers.
(FUN BONUS FACT: If you are a member, you have a community events budget from Bunch that you can use to celebrate Bike To School Day!)
We love seeing your joy-filled photos, whether your celebration is big or small. How did you party today ??
Thank you to Andrew, Brooke, Julya, Lauren, Kasey & Tamara for the fabulous photos!
