Join us for Glover’s 2nd Bike Bus Day - Friday, June 6!
“What’s a Bike Bus?” A Bike Bus is a big group of kids biking to school on a set route. There are scheduled stops and locations to meet up along the way, much like a school bus.
Glover parents Shelly Woolf, Richard Bourque, and Spencer Irvine have created three Bike Bus routes and will help lead the children along these routes. All routes will begin at 8:10AM from their respective starting place, make the indicated stops, and then converge together at 8:30 at the back gate to Glover and take an optional victory lap around the Glover back playground! Please arrive at your starting place or stop before the indicated time to be sure your bike is ready to go. Also, be sure to review the Bike Bus rules with your students (see below).
The 2nd Bike Bus Day is scheduled for Friday, June 6th. We would be delighted to have caregivers join their students for the ride. We encourage caregivers to join students who are not 100% confident independently biking to school. The Bike Bus will only ride to school. Please reach out to Shelly Woolf (shellyswoolf@gmail.com), Richard Bourque (rwbourque@gmail.com) or Spencer Irvine (sirvine24@gmail.com) if you have any questions. Let us know if you need help with the return ride or retrieving your student's bike from school.
