Recently there was a smoothie bike that was given to the District 6 office by the Healthy Kids Club. This smoothie bike is the only one in District 6 and is being rented out to schools to promote healthy habits.

The smoothie bike works like any other blender. The bike uses mechanical energy to run the blender. You place all your ingredients in the blender and then to blend them together you pedal the bike which triggers the blade.

Last week the credit recovery teacher, Mr. Greg McAdams, decided to rent the bike. McAdams is using the bike as a reward for his students. When his students finish their goal, that student gets a ride on the bike.

McAdams stated, “The bike gave kids a reason to complete their goal.”

The students have been loving the bike as well.

It is giving the credit recovery students a drive to reach their goal. Junior Jon-Tae Vigil stated, “I wanted to reach my goal to get a ride on the smoothie bike.”

The smoothie bike won’t be in the downstairs computer lab for long as McAdams and the credit recovery program only have it rented for one week.
