Bike to School Week is all about the joy of riding a bike!
May 29 – June 2, 2023
Bike to School Week inspires students to try riding a bike to school for the first time, to learn new skills, or to just have fun, explore, and connect with people, the community, and nature.
As such, at St. Anne, we want to promote as MANY students (and their family members!) to participate in this awesome form of transportation.
If you ARE intending to take on this challenge, please go to: https://www.stswr.ca/walkzone/programs/bike-week
On the Student Transportation Services Site, you will also be able to register the number of kilometers you are hoping to bike, scooter or walk – for the chance to win one of 10 Grand Prize Packs or one of 50 Dairy Queen Gift Cards! Who doesn’t love ice cream??!
