Kindergartners at Horizon Science Academy Southwest Chicago School may soon be riding bikes in their PE classes. All Kids Bike® is a national program on a mission to teach every child in America how to ride a bike. They are currently working to bring the All Kids Bike Kindergarten PE Program to Horizon Science Academy Southwest Chicago School. The program equips schools with everything they need to teach children how to ride; teacher training and certification, a structured 8-lesson curriculum, a fleet of Strider® 14x Bikes, Pedal Conversion Kits, fully-adjustable helmets, and a five-year support plan. Launched in March 2018, there are already 430 schools in 48 states with All Kids Bike Kindergarten PE Programs. The Kindergarten PE Program is designed for children of all abilities and hopes to instill healthy habits at a young age. “One of the best ways to get kids active is to get them excited about bicycles,” says All Kids Bike board member Ryan McFarland, “It’s a skill that is going to serve them in life.” To learn more about the program or make a donation, please visit: https://support.allkidsbike.org/horizon-science-academy-southwest-chicago
