It was smiles all around last Wednesday, Aug. 30, when 28 students from Faith Family Academy were surprised with brand new bicycles.
Over the summer, the Integrity Foundation’s leadership academy gifted nearly 100 bikes to Faith Family Academy students who had perfect attendance or whose parents attended meet the teacher night.
Integrity’s summer team building project was a bike building event, where teams made the bikes that were gifted to students throughout June, July and August. Each child that received a surprise bike was also given a $100 chick-fil-a gift card.
“It’s really fun to watch the competitive team building energy shift to something more about making a collective impact to support these families in our community,” said Mary Elyse Farah, Integrity Foundation President.
According to allkidsbike.org, the benefits of youth biking include independence, socialization, physical health and improved coordination.
