Merchantville board outlines youth programs, Bike Rodeo and school partnership plans for 2025
Summary
The Health Department Commission named school and PTA outreach as priorities, with Sean as BOE liaison and a Bike Rodeo scheduled for May 18, 2025; planned programs include substance-abuse prevention, walking/bicycle initiatives, mental-health first-aid, and gun-safety education.
Sean, serving as the board’s liaison to the Board of Education, said he would contact the Merchantville Elementary School superintendent to arrange coordinated presentations and events. The commission asked Karla and Amanda to contact the MES PTA to involve families and volunteers.
The commission listed several youth-focused initiatives for 2025: substance-abuse prevention programming, walking and bicycle programs, a Bike Rodeo at MES on May 18, 2025, mental-health programming including first-aid training and kits, and gun-safety programs. Dates for school-specific events were noted as repetitions of prior-year participation (Jump Rope for Heart, Field Day) but some event dates were not finalized.
No formal contracts, funding amounts or outside vendors were specified; the board described these items as planning priorities and liaison responsibilities.
