Another Successful 50 Bikes for 50 Kids As the collective teamwork, smiles and elbow grease settle, we'd like to extend a huge thank you to the 56 businesses, organizations and individuals that donated to our 5th annual 50 Bikes for 50 Kids. In the words of one bike recipient: "I was surprised I was able to do this. Now I know how my bike was made and how it works." We would like to extend a special thank you to the Natomas Bike Shop for supporting our event again this year. Each year John Buchanan and his staff provide invaluable support to this event. The shop contributes a large financial donation, mechanics attend the event to oversee the building process and Scott Meyer leads all the volunteer trainings prior to the event. Thanks to the 924 total hours of dedication put forth, our community has helped youth build confidence, a community-minded mentality and a new way to embark on their path to independence and a sustainable future. See more of the day of service here and here. |

What is a Walking School Bus, You Ask? Perhaps you have not heard of one of the most fun and engaging programs happening throughout North Natomas? The definition of a Walking School Bus is "an adult-led group of students who meet and walk together to school." We also like to think of it as a critical chance for family and community bonding, a way to weed out polluting traffic, and a time to get the body and mind in great shape at the start of the day! Would you like to join us? Walking School Buses occur at the following schools; click your school for meet and departure times, maps, and more information. |
