Utilizing a $20,000 grant obtained through the California Teachers Association Institute for Teaching, Project Mountain Ride will fulfill the immediate and desperate need of providing students with positive and healthy ways to meet and cope with their challenging, and ever-evolving, physical, and mental health needs. By expanding our current mountain bike club, incorporating our Alternative Education students, and taking the unique approach of infusing it with Social Emotional Learning components and practices we will create a social and emotional learning program unlike any other.
