As sunshine returns and sidewalks wake up from their winter nap, our neighborhoods are filling with the whir of bike tires, the glide of scooters, and the steady rhythm of skateboards. It’s a great time to get outside—and a great time to stay safe.
School Resource Officers VanDunk and Terry have been visiting middle school physical education classes, sharing practical tips on bike and scooter safety, safe road crossing, and how to be courteous and aware around pedestrians. Their message is simple and important: helmets matter, awareness matters, and small choices make a big difference.
And here’s a fun twist—our local officers will be on the lookout for students who are doing it right! Safe riders may be rewarded for their smart habits, turning good decisions into something worth celebrating.
For families, this is a perfect moment to review safe walking routes, especially for children who are new to traveling home on their own. And for all of us behind the wheel, a little extra patience and attention in our villages and hamlets goes a long way.
With everyone playing their part, we can keep our community safe, active, and ready to enjoy the season ahead.
