"Kwiyagat Community Academy is charter school in Towaoc Colorado, on the Ute Mountain Ute reservation, focused on revitalizing the Ute Language and Culture, increasing academic achievement, fostering positive character skills, instilling wellness and connecting students to members of the Towoac community. The All Kids Bike Project would help us with the wellness goal, by providing striders for our K-1 students. Currently we have 27 students in K-1 and are

adding more students for 2022 with a goal of 44 students this Fall and approximately 25 students in K-1. We have plans to repave portions of a parking lot this fall and that will be a perfect place for the students to practice strider riding! The school just opened last year and has only three teachers (no PE teachers) and very little space and equipment for kids to play and move. We love this idea and think it would be a perfect match. 98% of students are on free and reduced lunch and many don't have bikes at home and this would allow them to learn to bike and get much

needed exercise."- Operations Consultant, Richard F.
