Every Child Can Ride
Made possible through grant funding from the GEF
Dear First and Second Grade Parents,
We are pleased to announce all first and se cond grade students will be
participating in a Bicycle Training and Safety unit during their Physical
Education classes. This unit will take place during the weeks of April 6th &
13th. Weather permitting; we are hoping to get a minimum of 5 riding days in
during this two week window.
For safety purposes, all students will be required to wear a helmet and gym
shoes. Students should bring their own properly pre-fitted helmet from home.
For fitting tips you may choose to visit: www.helmets.org/fit.htm Please write
your child’s name on their helmet. We will have a very limited amount of
helmets available to borrow at school.
The students will be divided into ability groups of non-riders and riders.
Bicycles will be sized to each student. Instructional areas will have daily
targets including: bicycle safety, proper helmet fitting, safe-handling skills,
coordination, balance and motor planning. Students will ride in small
groups on school property and Crowley Park.
We are in need of parent volunteers to help with small groups of 5-10
students.
Please sign up on the volunteer form at
tinyurl.com/bikeHenking
All parents who are willing to ride with a group will need to provide their
own helmet and bicycle.
In Fitness and Health,
Julie Hock, Bill Norberg and Lauren Pagone

SECOND GRADE PARENTS …
Thursday, April 23, 2015 at 6:00 pm sharp has been set aside as
an informational evening for parents of students entering third
grade at Hoffman School next fall.
During this evening, the parents of the present second grade class
will meet for an orientation at 6:00 pm at Hoffman School.
Questions about procedures at Hoffman School, the concerns of
parents and children with the transition from primary to
intermediate facilities, and general information about our third
grade program will be addressed. Mr. Walther, our principal, the
third grade staff, and other support personnel will be present that
evening. This meeting will conclude at 7:00 pm and will be
followed by Hoffman’s Book Fair and Ice Cream Social until 7:30
pm.
You’ll also be interested to know that the present second grade
students will arrive by bus at approximately 9:30 am on Tuesday,
April 21 and Wednesday, April 22 and will be greeted by a Hoffman
School third grade student who will then be his/her “buddy” for
the day. The children will be at Hoffman School that morning:
touring the school, learning about third grade, meeting the
teachers, experiencing the transition to third grade and meeting
with Mr. Walther who will answer any questions they may have.
They will then return to Henking School by 11:30 am.
Should there be any questions about this orientation day/evening,
please contact Mr. Walther, our principal,
or Mrs. Malis, our school secretary, at 998-5040.
