That’s why I sponsored healthy breakfasts and prize packs for kids who participated in @bicycle_network’s #Ride2School Day today!
Kids at Footscray City Primary School, Footscray Primary School, Footscray North Primary School, Altona Primary School & Point Cook P-9 College all took part and enjoyed a breakfast of fresh fruit from Masters Fresh Fruit Footscray Market & baked goods from Bakers Delight.
They also received spokey dokes, reflective bag tags, seat covers, rider awareness stickers from the TAC prizes from Ted’s Cycling in Footscray. City of Maribyrnong, Footscray Police, Franjo's Kitchen & Gerrys Bicycle Service & Repair & made generous donations to local schools
Thank you to the school communities for getting behind the day, to all of the parents who volunteered to help serve up breakfast and marshal participants, and most of all to the kids who got active!
