BIKING/WALKING FRIDAY
COME JOIN US!
Meet three teacher leaders at Houghton Park on the last biking Friday of 2023, on October 27th. They will be there at 6:50 AM and leave for school by 7:00 AM. If you prefer to walk that is fine. Two adults will lead the biking group and one adult will lead the walking group.
There are no adult supervised groups going back at the end of the school day.
Note: Other walkers and bikers from around the city are welcome to walk and bike to school on Friday. We just don't have the staff to cover our usual Walking Wednesday routes. However, all St. Albans City School bikers and walkers are welcome to pencils, stickers and some other incentive item this Friday.
