3rd GRADE BIKE RODEO
Third graders will soon be learning about bicycle safety in the classroom. The BIKE RODEO is a fun way for them to practice what they have learned by maneuvering their bike around an obstacle course under the direction of Officer Derrick Pierce, the School Resource Officer from the Lenexa Police Department.
Upon completion of the course, each student will receive an official “CITY of LENEXA BICYCLE LICENSE”! The “license” gives students the privilege of riding their bike to and from school.
