🚲🚶‍♀️🛴 National Bike, Walk & Roll to School Day! 🛴🚶‍♂️🚲
Today, our KES families and students experienced the joy of alternative ways to travel to school while building community along the way!
And we have a tie! 🎉 Mrs. Miner’s class and Sra. Alvarez’s class had the same number of students who biked, walked, or rolled to school today! 🏆
What an awesome way to start the day...and what an awesome day to be a KES Cougar! 🐾💙
