Nila Granillo and Ernie Arrey with McGruff, Molina Health Care Mascot Dr. Cleo, Charlie Cat (Deming) – Torres Elementary hosted its Second Annual Bike Rodeo Thursday.
Parents were encouraged to allow their children to bring their bicycle to school, along with a bicycle lock and helmet. Bicycles and helmets were provided for those students who did not have them.
Deming police officers set up a series of skill stations that were directly related to everyday bicycling situations. Students were able to practice starting and stopping their bikes, and they learned the safe way to exit a driveway.
Students also were taught tips on how to look for traffic, how to avoid common road hazards and how to negotiate an intersection.
Molina Heathcare mascot Doctor Cleo was on hand to assist students with Molina’s smoothie bike. Students pedaled the bike, which in turn powered a blender that created smoothie drinks.
Ben Archer Health Care provided healthy snacks and some hula hoop activities for the students.
And Charlie Wildcat, Deming’s school mascot, and McGruff, the Crime Dog, also were on hand to interact with students.
