Warning to those with wheels for Walking Wednesdays

Wheeled riders interested in joining Walking Wednesday have been an issue of concern for our walking chaperones. Bikes and scooters move faster that walkers, and need to follow local laws, and practical safety rules.

These include:

  • Helmets at all times
  • Bikes/scooters ONLY on the roadways and
  • Staying safe while riding OFF the sidewalks on your way to school.
Walking chaperones main focus will be on walkers only going forward in the weeks ahead.

National Library Service: A free audiobook resource for eligible students

Did you know the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled offers free audiobooks and braille books to students whose disabilities make reading print difficult?

Students can access books through the BARD app on a personal device or receive materials by mail, at no cost. There are no lending fees or charges for shipping.

This can be a great resource for students who benefit from listening to books at home or want to enjoy more books independently.

Learn more about the National Library Service and eligibility: https://www.loc.gov/nls/
