Welcome to Green Lake Elementary's Cycling & Walking to School page!
May is Bike to School Month and we would love for you to participate!
For the whole month of May, our hope is that you and your kid(s) will either bike or walk to school, as well as bike on their own time outside of school. Each child can monitor and log the number of minutes that they bike throughout the whole month on an official tracking form and then as a school, we will add all the GLE students minutes together to see our grand total.
No matter how far you live from Green Lake Elementary, we encourage you to bicycle or walk in May. Bicycle or walk as a family, invite your neighbors to ride or walk as a group, or join a 'Bike Train' on May 9th for the official 'Bike to School Day'.
Print this year's GLE Bike to School poster for your family or to share in the community.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Friday - May 4th- Bike Safety Assembly presented by Cascade Bicycle Club during morning assembly. As part of the Friday morning assembly, representative(s) from Cascade Bicycle Club will share inbfo about Bike to School Month and share 'bike safety' recommendations.
Wednesday May 9th- Bike To School Day- This is a national event, where all students are encouraged to bicycle to school. We will have a greeting table near the front entrance of the school with stickers, swag and cycling/safety information in the morning before the school bell. Specific times to be announced soon.
Bike to School Challenge. Each student (or parent) keeps track of how many minutes that student spends bicycling during the month of May, documenting them on the Bike to School Month Calendar. All cycling counts, not just rides to and from school. There will be a prize for the school with the most minutes.
If you are interested parent who wants to help during Bike to School month, please email Douglas Dohan (douglasdohan@hotmail.com)

Bike Trains - For the Bike to School Day on May 9th, we are coordinating a number of 'Bike Trains' from a handful of different starting points within the GLE school zone. For each, the Bike Train lead will start at a designated location and bike towards the school, picking up more GLE bicyclists (and their parents) along the way. The specific routes have yet to be confirmed, but will most likely use the safest bike routes available between the start point and the school. There are still a few areas within the school zone that could use a Bike Train and lead. If you are interested in being a Bike Train lead, please email Douglas Dohan via his email shown above.
If you would like to ride with one of the confirmed Bike Trains, please email the 'lead' contact/parent as listed on the map to the right:
North Group - Mary Ellen Russell
Northeast Group - Garett Slettebak
East Group (early) - Douglas Dohan
East Group (late) - Nick Miller
West Group - Jocelyn Liang
Let's make this year's GLE Bike to School Month the best!
With thanks!
