RANTOUL – More than 60 needy Rantoul children will get their own bicycles next weekend, thanks to the efforts of some Rantoul special education students.
More than 25 young people in the Rantoul Pathways special education program have spent the school year repairing abandoned and broken bicycles salvaged by the local police department. The work is part of a program that teaches students how to use tools while providing bikes for children.
