The program, started by the Cascade Bicycle Club and facilitated by EBAG, educates students in the third through sixth grades on the safe (and fun) way to ride a bike.
The Hazel Miller Foundation provided funding.
The party will be held from 7:30-9 p.m. in room 206 of the Frances Anderson Center, 700 Main St., Edmonds. Light refreshments will be served.

A snow day last week means the last day of school will be pushed back in the Edmonds School District. The last day of school, with an early release, is now set for June 22, a Wednesday.
