About Feitshans Elementary School

"This request will impact our school by providing support for their physical, cognitive, and emotional development. Here’s why bike riding matters at that age: Riding a bike helps develop core strength, balance, and coordination — all essential for other physical activities. It also provides students the opportunity to practice their motor skills through pedaling, steering, and braking. Bike riding can also provide fitness and health benefits, which support heart health, strong muscles, and a healthy weight. 

Finally, this program can allow our youngest learners to practice problem solving and critical by navigating turns or minor obstacles and practice concentration, which helps build longer attention spans. Bike riding is a fun, healthy alternative to screen time, encouraging kids to explore the outdoors, enjoy nature, and develop a lifelong love for active play." Instructional Coach Carrie C. 

Feitshans Elementary School is seeking support for a complete Kindergarten PE Program, including a fleet of 25 Strider AKB-Specific bikes, helmets, pedal conversion kits, 1 Strider 20-inch bike for teacher instruction, 2 steel rolling storage racks, and curriculum.
