Get a Free Bike! Join "Teens Biking to Destinations" at Thurgood Marshall
Hello TMMS Families!
Is your student ready to roll? The Y Afterschool Program is teaming up with Intercity Transit’s WalkNRoll program to host Teens Biking to Destinations! Participants will learn road safety, bike maintenance, and handling skills during weekly group rides. Plus, students who attend the majority of sessions get to take home their very own bicycle and safety gear at the end of the school year!
The Details:
When: Tuesdays, March 3 – June 9 (4:00–5:15 p.m.)
Where: Thurgood Marshall Middle School
Note: No session April 7 (Spring Break). A special field trip to the Chehalis Western Trail is planned for the March 31 half-day!
How to Sign Up:
Register for the Y Afterschool Program: It’s free! (See attached instructions).
Join the "Teens Biking" Waitlist: Use the same registration page to indicate interest.
Complete the Survey: You’ll be directed to a quick questionnaire—please fill this out to finalize your interest!
Who Can Join?
Spots are limited! We are prioritizing 8th graders and students who do not currently own a bike. Remaining spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Need to Brush Up on Riding?
Students should have basic riding skills. If your student needs a boost, join our Learn 2 Ride session on Monday, February 23 (4:00–5:15 p.m.). Please email us if you'd like to attend!
Check out the attached flyer for more info. We can't wait to see you out there!
Don't want to use a computer to check grades, or enter in attendance? Good news. There's an app for that! Search "Skyward" in your app store.
Did you hae the app with "old" SKyward? You may need to delete and re-install to see the new version (which should show the various tiles).
