This year Lakelands has branched out to our local bike shop business's asking for a donation of a bike to help encourage our students to choose active transport to and from school. What better incentive than winning a super awesome new bike!. We plan to use the bike as an incentive with our Footprint Friday day. Students will be handed tickets for walking, scooting and riding to school on a Friday. All tokens go into our Footprint Friday bin (which has had a face lift this year- very eye catching for our students). At the end of the term all the tickets will be put in the tub together and 1 lucky winner will be selected to win the donated bike prize - to be present by the shop manager or owner at our Term 2 final assembly. Donation letters went out this week so, fingers crossed we can score ourselves a donation! .

Hi Amy. This is a great idea! You received a bonus 25 points for the initiative as well as 20 points for sharing your letter. In the past when contacting bike shops for a partnership, we have always found face to face followup very effective. You may have already planned that, but if not it could be well worth the effort.
