Ride With Pride assemblies last week allowed us to celebrate students who signed and followed the RWP pledge all year! A huge shoutout to NSPD, Cindy Jurkas, and Buckle In Muskegon for making this program happen! One 8th grader left with a longboard and a free session of drivers training among other prizes, and we were able to give away a longboard, hammocks, and other prizes to 6th and 7th grade winners as well! Lots of fun, and we are thankful for these awesome community partnerships that promote healthy and safe choices!
