Polk County Schools has secured a Go Outside Grant from the North Carolina Youth Outdoor Engagement Commission.
This funding will benefit the newly formed Polk County Wolverines Mountain Bike Team by helping to cover travel costs for their season finale.
The team is set to compete in the Paperboy Pedal Championship in Danville, Virginia, in May. The North Carolina Youth Outdoor Engagement Commission supports adventurous activities and educational experiences for young people across the state. The grant aligns with the commission’s mission to enhance outdoor opportunities for children and teenagers in North Carolina.
