East Grand Rapids Public Schools and the City of East Grand Rapids collaborated to produce this Pedestrian and Bike Safety video for East families! This is a great resource for families to start the conversation about safe commutes to school and around the community.

Thank you to the students who participated, and a special thanks to Ms. Slanger (Lakeside Elementary Principal) and Mr. Jager (Middle School Assistant Principal) for their collaboration with Public Safety to create this latest safety video.
