"The Spartan Ride started post-COVID and started with the money from the state that we received, and it has grown over the last few years. We have all kinds of learning materials for students and families. We have books that were donated, and we have some community resources for families as well. I think it's really important for us to do wrap-around services for our students and families any way we can, so this is another way we can reach out and help our community," explained Laura Wells Parent, Lima City Schools.
