Bikes added to elementary PE curriculum

Riding bicycles is now a regular part of Greene County elementary physical education classes.

BOOST and the Jefferson Telecom Charitable Trust recently partnered with the school district to purchase 25 bicycles. All students learn not only to ride bikes, but also the rules for safe biking.

Pictured with some of the new bikes are (from left) Jefferson Telecom general manager Jamie Daubendiek, student Fiona Daubendiek, elementary phys. ed. teacher Sean Thompson, and BOOST board member Jan Scharingson.

Teacher Sean Thompson also does units on roller skating and archery, along with encouraging walking as a healthy activity.
