Walk and Roll Wednesday is coming to the Los Perales Elementary School Moraga neighborhood this month and Los Perales students have been busy learning about bicycle and pedestrian safety. Lieutenant Jon King of the Moraga Police Department presented an assembly on April 20 to the first- through fifth- graders, emphasizing the Safe Routes to School Four E's Activities (Education, Encouragement, Enforcement and Evaluation). On April 29 Sharp Bicycle of Lafayette provided a bike safety check and helmet inspection on campus. Now the students are ready to 'walk and roll.' On May 13, 20 and 27, students, parents and teachers are encouraged to get out of their cars and either walk or ride their bike to school. If you happen to be in this neighborhood on one of these days, please slow down and share the road!
