Spotlight: Bike Bus at General Gordon Elementary
General Gordon Elementary ran a weekly bike bus program throughout the spring with the support of the Walk Bike Roll Mini Grant. A bike bus is a group of students traveling to school by bike with the support of adults that pick up students (like a school bus) as they make their way.
