Staff report
Forget the bake sales and magazine drives. Basalt Middle School is going a healthier and more adventurous route this year to raise extra funds.
The school will hold a bike-a-thon May 16-22. It will have to be virtual this year because of COVID-19 challenges, but organizers hope it will become an in-person event in the future.
“We fiddled with the idea of just making it a school thing,” said Brook Portman, the parent of a fifth-grader and a member of the Parent Engagement Group, which supports the school through volunteerism, teacher support and fundraising.
