As we enter the 3rd year of our PE + program (serving Garfield, Henry Ford, Hawes, and Selby Lane), our coaches have become part of the fabric of each school that we serve.  

Every coach has had experiences that will touch your heart, as they passionately take on the challenge to increase the fitness levels of the children in our community.

At Henry Ford School, there is one such student who has seen tremendous growth as a result of participation in PE+. 

Please read about One Extraordinary Student and share in our success!

As SPOKES travels from site to site, we have been so encouraged by the excitement of the participants and their eagerness to learn.  With his passion for teaching and for bikes, Rene Trujillo plays an integral role in our program success, as students cannot wait until Thursday's SPOKES class.  In Rene's ten plus years of working with children, he has yet to meet a child who does not enjoy bike riding. Rene learned to fix his own bikes with the help of his brothers when they were in elementary school. He believes there is no better feeling than being able to fix something on your own and this program instills that value in the children that participate.  

The SPOKES program teaches children not only how to repair their own bikes, but how to ride safely and responsibly on the road. 

Congratulations to the Taft School participants for completing their SPOKES course. 

Next stop... Henry Ford!
