School District 64 Bike Helmet Sale

As part of Healthy Living Month in Park Ridge, School District 64 is offering a special bike helmet sale to make sure children through adults have access to low-cost, top quality head gear.  The District 64 Traffic Safety Committee is teaming up with Advocate Lutheran General Hospital Trauma Services to present a walk-in helmet sale on Wednesday, April 25 between 5:00-7:00 p.m.  Advance orders are not required.  Just drop by Franklin School, 2401 Manor Lane, Park Ridge, to pick out and purchase a helmet for only $10.  Sizes for anyone 12 months or older will be available on a first come, first served basis.  Trauma room nurses will custom-fit the helmets to each child or adult, too!

This is an easy way to protect your family from the risk of serious head injury with helmets certified by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and designed to meet or exceed safety standards.  District 64 policy requires students to wear helmets while riding and/or using bicycles, roller blades, scooters, skate boards and similar devices while going from home to school, while on school property, and while going from school to their first intended point of destination.
