I'd grease the wheel bearings as my first priority!
Often, new bikes have minimal grease to begin with and if that small amount has dried, you might end up wiping out the bearing cones or worse. Finding replacement cones can sometimes be a hassle, depending on the hub.
Much simpler to just avoid that pitfall.
