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 plan on continuing into the beginning of next week to make up for the
missed days this week due to the weather. Please remember to bring your
helmets NEXT WEEK. We will also be seeking additional parent volunteers for
Monday and Tuesday.
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

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.

process, one that continues even as the physical body fades. Why is it that some succeed with long-term love
relationships? Why do some who endure traumatic childhoods recover and prosper? What leads to wise
flourishing in old age, and what are the roles of temperament and environment?
Since 1938, the Harv ard Gran t Stu dy o f Ad ul t D ev el op me nt has studied two cohorts of men: the College
Cohort consists of 268 men who attended Harvard College between 1938-1944, and the Inner City Cohort
consists of 456 Boston junior high school students selected between 1940-1944. The Study is the longest
longitudinal biopsychosocial study of human development ever undertaken, and its goal is to identify predictors
of healthy aging. The 724 Study members have been assessed from adolescence until the ninth decade of life,
with biopsychosocial questionnaires every two years, independent physical exams every five years, and in many
cases personal interviews. The Study is a rich motherlode of reporting on all aspects of male life, including
relationships, politics and religion, coping strategies, and alcohol use.
Ge o rge E. V ail lan t, M .D. , a Pro f esso r of Psych iatry at Harv ard M e dic al Sch oo l and the
De pa rtm en t of P syc hi atry at M assach u setts G e ne ral H osp ital, was the Di rec tor of the Grant Study
from 1970-2005, and he has written three books (1977, 2002, 2012) about its fascinating results. The results
from the 76-year study are clear – happiness is life is achieved through the experience of loving and being loved.
Men who had warm relationships with their mothers earn more than men whose mothers were uncaring, and are
less likely to develop dementia. Those who were close with their fathers have lower rates of adult anxiety and
increased life satisfaction after age 75. Character is not set in stone – people do change. The crush of a
complicated and unhappy midlife can morph into a satisfying and rewarding old age.
