KTA Mini Grant Brings Bikes To Local Kindergartens

Kingdom East School District Integrates All Kids Bike Education Bike Curriculum

Last year, KTA was excited to able to contribute through the KTA Mini Grant Program to the Kingdom East School District (KESD) towards the implementation of the All Kids Bike Education Curriculum. With the help of some local money and the grant, KESD received 32 bikes, helmets and the curriculum.

Recently we heard from Lyndon Town School Physical Education Teacher Lisa Paquette who said, "This spring Newark school and Lyndon Town School were able to get all of our Kindergarten and first graders on Strider balance bikes and then moved to pedals. It was a great curriculum that got our students super excited about biking!"

Next school year the other schools in the district as well as Newark and LTS will continue with the program.

It is with honor and gratitude for your support through membership and donations, that KTA is able to provide these opportunities for health and wellness to our local community.

Vermont State Treasurer, Mike Pieciak, speaks at the 2025 Outdoor Recreation Day at the Statehouse

KT is taking action—on the trails and in the Statehouse!

By Abby Long • February 13, 2025

KT is taking action—on the trails and in the Statehouse! This 2025 Legislative Session, KT is teaming up with other amazing trail organizations through the Vermont Trails & Greenway Council, to advocate for H.147 a bill to establish the Recreational Trails Compensation Study. Why does this matter? Vermont’s outdoor recreation economy generates $2.1B annually, nearly 5% of the state’s GDP, that's 2nd in the nation after Hawaii (Go VT!) KT alone drives $10M in economic impact annually. Therefore, the state must recognize and incentivize these generous private landowners, including the 106 who make KT possible and allow public access to trails.
