Damascus Middle School is gearing up for something BIG!
Thanks to our friends from Communities In Schools of Appalachian Highlands and a grant from Outride’s Riding for Focus program, DMS now has 30 brand-new bikes and helmets to launch a school-wide cycling program!
Students, families, and community members came together at the Bike Build Bash to pump tires, grease pedals, and get these bikes ready to roll — with a little expert help from Sun Dog Outfitters.
This 6-week cycling program will give students the chance to boost their mental and physical health, build confidence, strengthen friendships, and discover the joy of riding.
