Walking School Buses and Bike Trains Will Resume After Spring Break!

The Walking School Buses (WSB) and Bike Trains at Blair, Longfellow, Madison, Marshall, Muir, and Washington MS are up and running and will pause during Spring Break April 4-8. They will resume again the week of April 11. Students at these schools are invited to join. Check our website at https://www.godayone.org/activetransportation for details. A walking school bus is a group of students walking to school together with adult supervision. A bike train is the same idea, but on bicycles. Students who walk or roll to school get some healthy physical activity, show up to school more alert and ready to learn, and help to save the planet by reducing greenhouse gas emissions that come from cars. We’re looking for parents who can lead a WSB at Norma Coombs Elementary and Washington Elementary. We’re looking for additional parents to support the WSB at Madison and Longfellow. This is part of our Safe Routes to School program with PUSD and Pasadena DOT. For more information, contact your school’s community advocate/assistant or colin@godayone.org.

Free Bike Repair Workshops Will Pause for Spring Break!

Our free bike repair workshops are still ongoing. The workshops will pause for Spring Break and will resume again the week of April 11. PUSD students can learn how to fix and maintain a bicycle twice a week at the La Pintoresca Teen Education Center. Not sure how to fix a flat tire or adjust your brakes, come to the teen center on Mondays and Wednesdays, 3-5 PM and we’ll show you how. There’s no registration or RSVP required. Bring your bike if you have one, but you don’t have to bring a bike to join the workshop and learn with us. Students who need community service hours can earn hours by helping to fix donated bikes. Participants are also eligible to win a bike. The teen center is located at 1415 N Raymond Ave, Pasadena, CA 91103 at La Pintoresca Park. Contact: colin@godayone.org
