On April 28, the students at the Early Childhood Center wrapped up their Trike-a-Thon riding toy safety week by practicing their new skills at a riding toy party. Students brought their bicycles, tricycles, and scooters to school and rode them while wearing helmets and considering safety first.
This special annual tradition at the ECC is in its 27th year, and has raised almost $100,000 cumulatively for the children at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The total raised for this year’s Trike-A-Thon is just over $7,000.
In addition, Oakridge welcomed a special guest to this year's event. FOX4's Shannon Murray visited at the special request of fan Libby Caldwell, a kindergarten student.
