BROOKSVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) – Some Noxubee County elementary students will have a safer bike ride to school, thanks to some brand new sidewalks and helmets.

A grant from the Mississippi Department of Transportation helped build the new sidewalks that lead to Wilson Elementary School.

Wednesday, the almost 300 kindergarten through fifth grade students got helmets to celebrate completion of their “Safe Routes to School” project.

In addition to providing a safer route, school leaders say walking and biking encourage healthier lifestyles.
