Frequent Rider Program at Edna Maguire Coming in April
Choose freedom from your car and win prizes for walking, biking and carpooling to school in the Frequent Rider Miles Contest. For the four weeks between Monday, April 6th and Friday, May 8th, students will be rewarded for getting to school in these healthy ways. Make sure your child fills out the Frequent Rider Mile Cards to make them eligible to win prizes, including a gift certificate for a new bike!
