Press release from the City Of Davis:

January 28, 2022 3:43 pm

The City of Davis announced today that its Safe Routes to School program will launch its annual Polar Pedal program. For the entire month of February if DJUSD elementary students bike or walk to school, they earn points toward adopting a Polar Bear for their school. 

DJUSD elementary schools will work together on a goal to adopt 20 polar bears through Polar Bear International. For every 500 biked or walked trips to school, one polar bear will be adopted. The target goal is 10,000 walk/bike trips for the month of February. 

To participate, students must scan in with the Active4me program when they arrive at school. To register for Active4me, visit this link:  https://www.active4.me//

The event is sponsored by the City of Davis, Kaiser Permanente and Polar Bear International.
