May 4th on Zoom at 6pm. Be on the lookout for that link.
May 23rd in person at 6pm at the school to finish up the planning and possible decorations.
Each student can have 5 tickets. If they do not need 5 tickets we ask that they turn in the extras.
Join us for the Family Bike Fiesta on Saturday April 29th from 9am - noon at Lynn Community Middle School. Find us on the basketball courts west of the gym off Nevada Ave. This event is brought to you by the LCPS Safe Routes To School Program.
Kids, bring your bikes! (If you don't have a bike, borrow one from us.) Adults, bring your bikes and helmets for the community ride. Please note, all the stations are for the students, but adults, we want you to learn and enjoy with your kids. Everything is first come, first served and while supplies last.
