It was an all out celebration for South Smithfield Elementary School this morning for National Bike/Walk/Roll To School Day! 🦽🛹🚲
For the eighth year, students, parents, siblings, community members and stakeholders, and even pets, participated in the event. With the assistance of local law enforcement and emergency services, everyone made their way along the nearly 1/2 mile route from Civitan Park in Smithfield to the school.
They were welcomed back to campus by the South Smithfield Elementary School dancers. Fun was had by all!
