August 31st Kidical Mass - Back To School

Progressive tour of schools around the northern part of the Hill plus a block party at Maury Elementary to celebrate the new school year!

Its time for the Back to School Ride - a 4.5 mile bike ride touring Capitol Hill schools on the northern part of the Hill! Join the ride at a school of your choice or start with us at Maury Elementary for a quick ribbon cutting for the permanent crosswalk art project in collaboration with Maury PTA made possible by our t-shirt fundraiser and grants from the Capitol Hill Community Foundation and ANC 6A .

We’ll end back at Maury for a block party to celebrate the new school year including a bouncy house, a giant chalk art mural, DJ Paul Spires, Maracas Ice Pops tricycle and a food truck (TBD).
