Bike Rodeo
Bike Rodeo
The Sunita Williams Elementary School, along with all of the other elementary schools in Needham, have partnered with the Needham Police Department to deliver our annual Bike Rodeo which helps promote safe bicycle operating practices by our students when they are our riding in our neighborhoods and streets.
The Bike Rodeo is an educational experience for our 3rd grade riders and non-riders alike. Riders and non-riders will visit various bicycle education stations to learn about riding safety. Riders have an opportunity to earn their very own Bicycle license.
At our annual Bike Rodeo, 3rd grade students will have a chance to demontrate their riding skills on our bicycle riding course behind the gymnasium. If students pass the riding and the bike quiz, students will receive a bicycle license issued by the Needham Police Department at the end of the rodeo or soon thereafter. The Bicycle license allows students to ride to and from school without requiring an adult act as an escort.
