Bike Rodeo Training at WPS

5/22/2025

Berlin, MD – Last week, our annual Grade 1 & 4 Bike Rodeo rolled in, thanks to our amazing partnership with the Ocean City Police Department (OCPD).

Before hitting the course, students learned about bike safety and maintenance in classroom sessions led by Lower School teachers. Then it was time to put those skills to the test on an exciting outdoor obstacle course!

A big thank you to OCPD Officer First Class Ryan Stoltzfus and all the wonderful volunteers who help make this tradition a highlight of the year.
