Yamaha surprises Waverly students with donation of bicycles
WAVERLY, Tenn. — A national movement aims to teach every child in America how to get the wheels rolling.
The Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative is funding 10 programs across the U.S., known as the “All Kids Bike” program.
The learn-to-ride program committed $100,000 over the past two years to 18 school programs.
This year, students at Waverly Elementary were surprised with a bike unveiling.
“After the flood, a lot of kids lost their bike and some kids just don’t get that opportunity, and we think it’s a great thing,” said Waverly Elementary School Principal Bryant Brink. “And it also gives them physical activity, which is what we want for kids, and we just think it’s a wonderful thing, and the kids were very excited and we are very grateful for it.”
Yamaha officials say they wanted to celebrate the health and happiness of children by providing the opportunity to learn.
