M.C.I.O. Head Start Program will be sponsoring a Trike-A-Thon to help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Trike-A-Thon is a special program developed for early childhood educators and childcare centers to teach  children riding tips while helping to continue St. Jude’s efforts of eradicating childhood catastrophic diseases.

The Trike-A-Thon will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 25 at the Bastrop Head Start gymnasium.
Head Start children will be participating in this event, and area day care children or students up to the age seven are invited to help with this effort. Doors prizes will be given away and snacks will be provided for all participants. A lesson of bicycle and tricycle safety will be taught by Wilma Davenport, Injury Prevention Specialist for Region 8.
