Bike Helmets

Timing — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 20:07:44 +0000

As part of a safety program, the 5^th grade class at Haven Learning was given the assignment to find an article related to safety that would be of interest to a group such as the Striders. After a vote, the students decided on an article about the importance of wearing a bike helmet when cycling. This is a worthwhile article that discusses traumatic brain injuries and how wearing a helmet can help protect against such injuries. From personal experience, I strongly support wearing a helmet when biking.

Pedestrian Safety for Runners

Timing — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 15:08:57 +0000

We received a letter from some students involved in a safety program where they are learning that safety is important in our lives in order to protect ourselves and others. Safety issues are important in everything that we do!

One student, Anne, talked to her classmates about road safety and the responsibility of all road users. She also brought in an article for them related to pedestrian safety that has some relevance for runners. She asked if we would put this on our web site for her and her classmates to further promote safety. While most of us know most of these things, it never hurts to refresh our memory and be sure we are being as safe as possible when we are out running or walking on the roads.
