Bike and Roll to School Day returns to Bataan Memorial Elementary on May 8
Bataan Memorial Elementary will host a Bike and Roll to School Day on May 8, 2025. According to an announcement, this event is for primary and intermediate students and their families. Following a successful event in October, organizers decided to add a spring event. Participants will meet at Clinton and Alice Street to bike north on Clinton to Bataan. There will be four starting locations: West End Community Park, the corner of Fifth and Madison Street-Fourth Street Block, Taft Hill/Park, and students can join the bike bus as it passes their homes. Training wheels should report to Taft Hill with an adult. Community members are encouraged to cheer on students and volunteers along the route. Volunteers are needed to ensure the event's success and safety. Those interested can fill out a volunteer application and BCI check at the Port Clinton City Schools' board office for $10. Lisa Schlumbohm will assist with organizing the event. Thanks to the Ohio State University Extension Office, bike helmets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Ottawa County Health Department will also volunteer to help with the event. In case of inclement weather or a school cancellation or delay, the event will be canceled. This initiative promotes physical activity, teaches safe pedestrian and bicycling skills and addresses environmental concerns, according to an announcement.
