About P.S. 173 Fresh Meadows

"As a teacher in an inner-city public school, I can truly say that a significant portion of my student population have not had the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike due to a variety of factors outside of their control. In fact, many students in my school will likely never learn how to ride a bike as it is not a priority in their family’s lives and that is devastating for them in terms of not only their health but also life experiences as well. This program would change that for all 1000 students that walk through my school from the time they enter in Kindergarten for years to come! 

In turn, students in my school will all be equipped with basic bicycle knowledge and have the ability to ride a bike for the rest of their lives, which would profoundly impact my student population, particularly because we are an inner-city, Title 1 public school with a population that subsequently has access to less resources." PE Teacher, Louis P.

P.S. 173 Fresh Meadows Elementary School is seeking support for a complete Kindergarten PE Program, including a fleet of 30 Strider AKB-Specific bikes, helmets, pedal conversion kits, 1 Strider 20-inch bike for teacher instruction, 2 steel rolling storage racks, and curriculum.
