Kindness matters and starting on Monday, students in several GCS schools will be gifted a new bicycle and helmet, thanks to the Bikes for Kids Foundation and local sponsors.
Students receiving the bikes participated in a “Kindness Matters’ writing contest using kindness prompts to write their essays. Winners will be recognized during an assembly at the school attended by parents, sponsors, school partners and members of the GCS community.
The Bikes for Kids Foundation works with school districts and local sponsors to provide bicycles and helmets to underrepresented students during the holiday season in order to help them develop pride, responsibility and a strong sense of community, as well as to encourage their academic, physical and social growth.
