 A local schools will soon be out for the summer and children will be enjoying bicycle rides, roller skating and skateboarding. In order to reduce injury during these activities, Lakewood Health Systems is handing out free helmets. Children in kindergarten through third grader welcome to visit a Lakewood clinic to get properly fitted and given a free helmet. For the past 15 years the foundation has been distributing helmets to area schools and other children in the community. Last year there were more than 750 helmets given away and this year they're hoping to hand out more than 900 in all. We want kids to be out moving and biking and having fonts, rollerblading, scooters, skateboards. It's really just trying to encourage safety of course. We want our kids healthy and strong and safe but we really want them out, not in front of the screen. We know we do screen time but we also need to get moving. This year's event locations, dates and times can be found on our website. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
