FAIRLAWN, Ohio — You’ve heard all about how the wheels on the bus go round and round. But that wasn’t the case Thursday morning. I visited Fairlawn for a special event that held special meaning this year.
This was the fifth year for the event and the biggest one yet, according to Casper, who told me she felt “pure joy” seeing everyone out on their bicycles. Casper is passionate about her community, the kids, and physical education. A learn-to-ride program she brought to the school this year helped more of the younger kids join the ride this morning. Casper received a grant to buy Strider bikes and teach kindergarteners and first graders how to ride, building balance, coordination, and confidence before graduating to pedals.When we pulled into school, it was the end of the road in more ways than one. After more than 30 years in education, Casper is retiring.
She spent 25 years with Copley-Fairlawn City Schools, 15 at Fort Island, and she’s been awarded Ohio Elementary PE Teacher of the Year. Mom and Bike to School coordinator Kate Panzer reflected on Casper’s impact.
