...and it sounds like these are folks you'll want alongside you on the roadways.Rockville City announced its "Terrific Bike Awardees".
Here's the idea: the city looks for kids from Kindergarten to 5th grade who demonstrate they are: trustworthy, earnest, respectful, responsible, involved, fair and caring. See how they show they are terrific? (Hint: read those qualities again).
The kids can't just claim they have these qualities; they have to carry out 6 responsible acts and have a parent or mentor vouch for them. Those who are deemed truly terrific get--you guessed it--a bike!
Just who are these kids? Here are the names provided by the City of Rockville. Kids, take a bow, and a ride around the block. This is your day, congratulations.
