Bike to School Day on Friday, May 3rd: New Market Elementary and Middle School students and families are participating in Bike to School Day on Friday, May 3rd. This event is a joint effort by the New Market Green Team, New Market Elementary PTA, and New Market Middle PTSA.
New Market students and families are invited to participate in biking to school. Participants will gather at designated neighborhood meet locations at 7:15 am. Our route leaders will go over some safety rules, before we depart for the schools at 7:25am. Parents/Guardians are responsible to make sure their child(ren) arrives at school safely that morning. Please use caution if you are driving to a meeting location as there will be extra bikers on the road.
NMMS students will proceed to class that day. All NMES families are invited to participate in our Bike Rodeo event on the NMES black top from 7:30am until school doors open at 8:30am. Helmets for both children and adults are required for the Bike Rodeo activities. Children will also need to have a completed permission slip on file. Please click HERE for the permission slip.
If your child(ren) will be arriving at school that day by car, please do not use neighborhood cul-de-sacs to drop off/pick up your child(ren). For the safety of the participants, all vehicles should use the schools’ designated car lines and keep vehicles to a minimum on our pedestrian routes to school.
For more details about the event, look for information in your child’s red folder and follow along on our Facebook Event page: New Market Bike to School Day
Cindy Alvarado Race Series and Fundraiser Information:
NMES Families and New Market community members are encouraged to join us in the Cindy Alvarado Race Series! This year the Cindy Alvarado Race Series will cover two days with three different events.
Students have the opportunity to participate in the Cindy Alvarado Boosterthon on Friday, May 17th during school hours.
