The Big Dog greets Brandon bikers and walkers.

On Wednesday, October 3, students from Brandon School kicked off the annual B.O.W.W.O.W 릭앤모티 시즌1. challenge. Each year students are encouraged to be healthy by biking, walking, or using a scooter/skateboard to get to school every Wednesday.

For the rest of the school year on Wednesday mornings, teachers will take a count of participating students who rode or walked to school 윈도우 익스플로러 다운로드. At the end of the year the class with the highest participation is rewarded with a field trip. Biking, walking, or using a scooter/skateboard is a healthy alternative to driving. Students will be more fit, alert, and ready to learn with this early morning exercise. The air quality, the environment, and the safety of our children will improve around Brandon because there will be less traffic.
