More than 250 residents and their children attended Menifee Union School District’s (MUSD) Bike Skills Day on Saturday, September 13, at the district office, turning the space into a hub of activity and safety education.
This free community event welcomed 250 residents and their children, providing hands-on guidance, essential safety tips, and valuable resources to build confidence on two wheels.
This event was a collaborative effort with numerous community partners who donated their time and resources. Riverside University Health Partners – Injury Prevention Services provided and custom-fitted more than 60 helmets for children, along with glow-in-the-dark safety items.
The Walk More, Bike More organization organized and managed more than 20 volunteers who assisted with bicycle skill stations and offered free bike repairs. The organization also donated a Radio Flyer scooter, a helmet, and a swag bag
Dunkin’ Donuts on Newport Road provided coffee and donuts for families, while raffle prizes came from several community partners, including including gift cards and pencil cases from SchoolFirst and more than 50 mini first aid kits and gel pens from Office Solutions. An anonymous donor contributed three gift cards.
“As a school district we continue to seek out and implement opportunities to educate our students and their families on bike safety,” Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Root said. “The hard work of our risk management department and their relationships with community partners is what makes events like this so successful for our students.”
