PREVIOUS EVENTS FROM THIS YEAR BELOW
Go by Bike Week! Sept 24 - Oct 4th
EMJS is celebrating Go By Bike Week(s) where students, staff and parents are encouraged to join and log any and all or their active transport trips to and from school and all around town during these next 2 weeks. Active transport includes: biking, walking, scootering, skateboarding and even walking to the bus stop to catch a ride!
Every time you log a trip you increase your chances of winning a prize and you also increase Margaret Jenkins’ chance of winning $1000 to put towards cycling infrastructure and/or education!
The EMJS PAC will have a table set up each morning before school next week along the fence by the “little kids playground”. Come see us to say hi, grab a snack, stickers or cup or coffee and most importantly log your child's active trip to school so they can be entered to win a prize! We will be giving out 2 lucky-draw prizes to EMJS students each day next week! If you are able to help out in the morning click here to sign up.
We can't wait to see you all next week to learn about how you stay active while travelling around our beautiful neighbourhood and city!
