PICTURES DONATION OF FOUR MORE BICYCLES TO SACS BY LOCAL MOTION Once again, Local Motion has generously shared some of their used and well-maintained bicycles with us. The four mid-sized bikes they gave us on Wednesday tend to fit most of the 4th-6th graders. They will be stored until the weather improves for biking. Local Motion is an organization that promotes bicycling and walking around the state. Every spring, Local Motion provides our school with a bicycle trailer full of different sized bikes to support our cycling instruction P.E. unit and our annual 6th grade bicycle trip on the rail trail.
