Join our walking bus to school, every Thursday at 7am, September 5 - October 31st!

We will meet at 3661 Mud Alley Road at 7am and walk less than 1/2 mile along the Puma Path to school, waking up our bodies with our friends.

We have a brand new bike shed and new bikes and helmets for kinders and 4th-5th graders!

Thanks to the Mid Valley PTO for winning an ODOT Innovative Mobility grant to fund the shed and bike fleet.

Fall of 2024 will be our first time using the bikes for education in PE class.

In addition to learning how to ride, building biking confidence, basic safety and law education, we will take the students on walking and biking field trips of the Puma Path.

Throughout the year, Mid Valley Elementary will join students around the globe as we celebrate these special events:

October 10 - International Walk & Roll to School Day
