Kennebec Journal - Grant for Augusta schools being used to get students back onto bicycles
“AUGUSTA — As a new bicycle shop is set to open and a committee begins meeting in Maine’s capital city, two teachers in the Augusta School Department are encouraging more students to ride bikes.
Part of the push for increased bike ridership began with a $1,500 grant to buy bicycle helmets and parts. Brenda Weiss, a wellness teacher at Cony Middle and High School, received the grant from the Maine Environmental Education Association.”
