Last Fall 4th and 5th grade students participated in a new biking program called “Let’s Go” in which they learned bicycling skills and safety. Darrington Elementary was one of a handful of rural schools to pilot this new curriculum and the students’ experiences helped inform institution for future participants around the state. Let’s Go was funded by the Move Ahead Washington transportation bill in March 2022. Implementation of Let’s Go came in under budget and facilitators wanted to put the funds toward getting youth on bicycles. So, all 5th graders who participated in the piloting of the curriculum earned a free bike with helmet, lock, and lights. 5th graders at Darrington Elementary received their new bikes on May 1st and many have been riding to school since! Many thanks to the NWESD, Cascade Bicycle Club, and Trek Bikes for making this happen.
