Twenty Students Earned a Bike at San Juan Elementary!

CategoriesUncategorized

Over the course of eight inspiring weeks, students at San Juan Elementary School embarked on a journey focused on nutrition, fitness, healthy habits, character building, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Guided by dedicated staff and fueled by their own determination, these students committed to showing up, trying new things, and pushing beyond what they thought they could do.

On December 11th, their hard work culminated in a joyful celebration at the Earn‑A‑Bike Graduation—a moment filled with pride, cheers, and the unforgettable sight of students receiving brand‑new bikes they truly earned.

One participant, Herardo, shared what the experience meant to him:

“My favorite thing about Earn‑A‑Bike was getting to do the drills, fun activities, games, and we got to try new things that we haven't tried. I learned that I am able to go past my limits and do new things!”Herardo, Earn‑A‑Bike participant

His words capture exactly what the program is all about—helping kids discover their strength, confidence, and ability to grow.

A huge congratulations to all 20 students who earned their bikes, and a heartfelt thank‑you to the staff, volunteers, and supporters who make this program possible. Together, you're building healthier habits, stronger character, and brighter futures—one bike at a time.
