Help Make Our Routes to School Safer! 🚴‍♂️
The City of Polo and Polo CUSD #222 are teaming up to apply for the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) grant! This grant could provide major funding for new sidewalks, bike lanes, and safety programs to protect our students as they walk and bike to school.
To make our application successful, we need your help! Here’s what to expect:
📧 PARENT & GUARDIAN SURVEY | Sept. 2 - 8 Next week, please check the email you have on file with the school for a short survey. Your feedback is essential data for our grant application!
📸 PHOTO DOCUMENTATION | Sept. 9 A city representative will take photos of areas needing sidewalks to show why this grant is so important. IMPORTANT: These photos are for grant purposes only, and NO student faces will be included. (Rain date: Sept. 10th)
Let’s work together to make our community safer for every student!
