International
Walk and Bike to School Day became the occasion at the Talbot
Innovation Middle School for both students and staff to demonstrate
their commitment to biking. Postponed one day from the official date of
October 8, 2014, the event became the occasion for School Principal
Jacqueline Francisco to bike the ten miles from her home in Dartmouth to
the School in Eastern Fall River. She completed the ride on a Specialized
carbon frame road bike that she uses for competitive races. Students
gathered around her when she arrived at the school to ask questions and to
learn more about their Principal's interest in cycling. A number of Middle
School students and faculty ride their bikes to the school on most days,
including math teacher Ben Coleman and School Safety Officer Jonathan
Castro. Click here for a
