Through a UPK grant, Townsend Elementary was able to purchase a program called “All Kids Bike.”
The program comes with 24 student bikes, 24 helmets, an instructor bike, and pedal kits. It also includes eight classes of instructor training. The first five primarily focus on balancing the bike, and the final three focus on pedaling while balancing.
The plan is to implement this program with UPK, kindergarten, and first-grade students. With being able to integrate this program into the curriculum, it gives students the opportunity to learn how to ride a two-wheeled pedal bike, and also know what measure of safety to follow while they are riding their bikes at home.

Thanks to continued grant funding from the Catskill Watershed Corporation, Hanford Mills once again came to Townsend Elementary to offer students hands-on activities to support the school’s curriculum, provide education about watersheds and how students are connected to them, and the effect they have on water systems.
Recently, second graders learned about hydro-science. Students were able to see how many drops of water fit on the surface of a penny and if water can move by itself. Through a series of fun and simple experiments. Students explored the interesting properties of water.
