Richard Eckman wins Safer Routes' Raffle
Congratulations to Richard Eckman, the winner of the Safer Routes to School fall survey. All Forest Park elementary school parents who returned the Safer Routes to School survey were entered in a raffle with a $50.00 gift certificate for Fred Meyers.
Safer Routes would like thank all the parents that participated in the survey. The surveys provide valuable information on how to create a safer Forest Park for children to walk/bike to and from school. Thanks to the fall 2008 surveys, over 23% of Forest Park students walk to school.
Great Job Forest Park!
