April is NJ Walk & Bike Month

April is New Jersey Walk and Bike to School Month and Netcong is celebrating in two ways

Join us Wednesday April 22nd for the 
Every Step Counts Walk and Roll Club 
and Walk-a-thon!

How to participate in 5 easy steps:

1. Collect pledges on the forms that were sent home. Get sponsored per lap (for example, 50¢ per lap x 20 laps = $10.00 pledge) or a flat rate pledge (for example, $15, $20, etc.) 

2. Bring your pledge form to school. The walk-a-thon will take place during the school day. 


3. Earn
 5 additional laps toward your total by walking to school on Wednesday morning. 

4. Pick up an “I walked to school today” sticker before the 8:20 am bell. Stickers must be collected in the front of the school at the table by the flagpole in order to count the extra laps.


5. Wear sneakers and have fun!

Join us for the Netcong Bike Rodeo 
& Safety Inspection



When: Friday April 24th (rain date Fri. May 1st. heavy rain only)
Time: 3:00-5:30 pm
Location: Back lot of Netcong Elementary School
Who: Students of all ages welcome!



What is a bike rodeo? A bike rodeo helps teach students the importance of riding a bicycle safely.

What to do: Bring your child's bike and helmet. Ride with your child to school, drop off bikes and helmets in the bike rack or join us in the back parking lot after school with your child's bike and helmet. Bicycle racks are located in the back parking lot next to the BOE building. 

Please be sure to lock your bike! Your child will not need to stay for the entire time. Come and go at any time during the event. Free helmets will be available on a limited basis. Any child without a proper helmet or working bicycle will not be allowed to participate in the on-bike riding skills.

Complete All Safety Stations:
Helmet Check: SafeKids will inspect helmets. Free helmets will be available on a limited basis.
Tire Station: Tire safety and air fill.
Bike Inspection: A mechanic from Marty's Reliable Cycles will be on hand to inspect all bikes.
Rules of the Road: TransOptions staff will demonstrate and test students on bike skills including on-road and off-road safety simulations.

We are thrilled that this event is being sponsored by the Netcong PTA, Netcong Police Department and
