Trike-A-Thon

It’s that time of year again for our annual Trike-A-Thon! This fun event lets kiddos learn about bike safety while raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Last year Emerson students raised over $800 for St. Jude’s! We hope to have the same enthusiasm this year.

Beginning next week, the preschool classrooms will begin learning the essentials of bike and road safety (wearing helmets, watching where you’re going, etc.). This curriculum will lead up to the Trike-A-Thon on Friday!

The event will take place on Friday, October 16th at 4pm. Students will bring their own bicycle, tricycle, or scooter (with helmets, of course!) to ride around our track. Packets will be made available in your child's folder to begin raising money! Donors can choose to give a one-time monetary gift, or to pledge a specific amount per lap. (Warning, the kiddos last year did as many as 35 laps, so make sure grandma isn’t pledging too much per lap). You can find more information and give online. Even if your child does not attend Emerson on Friday afternoons, you are welcome to come by for the event!

We understand it’s a busy time of year with many other things going on, but we hope to have as many participants as possible! We are always amazed by the level of support shown from our families.


Thank you for your help!
