Oak Chan Elementary collects 80 bikes for those in need
Children at Oak Chan Elementary learned a lesson of community service during their recent "Bike Bucks" Project, sponsored by their Site Student Council.
Through the "Bike Bucks" Project, children collected enough money to purchase 80 bikes and helmets. The gifts were donated to the Folsom Police Department to be delivered to those in need throughout the community.
The presentation took place on Dec. 15, where Folsom Police Chief Cynthia Renaud and members of the Folsom Police Department received the bikes in behalf of the community.
Supervised by their teachers and co-student council advisors Susan Woodman and Vicky Morgan, students were able demonstrate their spirit of giving and an early disposition to help others.
