Students
at the Tansey
Elementary School gathered for an all-school assembly on April 27,
2012 to hear about bicycle safety from Fall
River Police Officer Atkinson. After being introduced by
Vice-Principal Melissa Homol, Officer Atkinson covered the importance of
wearing bicycle helmets, the basic rules of the road and other related
topics to ensure that young riders know how to make riding safe.
Vice-Principal Homol also announced an upcoming "bike to school"
event to take place the following week and answered questions from the
children about the event. Students have also been participating in the
City-wide Fitness
Challenge by participating in Walking Wednesdays and Fit Fridays where
they walk, run, or jog around an outdoor walking route. For
more information about the program, contact School Wellness Coordinator
Marcia Picard at
774-319-0107 or Fall River Mass In Motion coordinator Julianne Kelly, at 508-324-2405.
