Graham Middle School was approached by an Urbana Moose Riders member about an opportunity to support our families in need who would like to have a student attend the Washington DC trip. They are holding a raffle for multiple bicycles and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the DC scholarship fund. We are very grateful for their consideration! We have agreed to share this information and have access to tickets for anyone interested. Tickets will be cash only and you do not need to be present to win. If you want to view the bikes in person, they are located at Whitman's Bike Shop here in St. Paris.

** The beginners package includes 5 sessions of BMX lessons for beginners

There are only 5 student spots remaining. Please be sure if you made initial payments that you are up to date. If anyone is still looking to join the trip, we suggest you move quickly as we are already two payments in and those spots will be filled on a first come basis.

We expect to be at Quote #1 for the total cost = $912.00

Next payment due: April 12th ($225)

Frontline Education has released the ProgressBook Parent and Student Mobile App (aka ParentAccess app) to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. This app is available for your parents/students to download and use now. For those that choose to download, the app takes the place of the mobile web version of ParentAccess that parents and students have long used. In addition, Frontline has produced an overview video that can be shared with your users (video link is also in the attached instructional sheet).
