High school opens to
walkers Nov. 4
Again this
year, Greenville
High School will open its doors to community members seeking a warm,
safe place to walk on winter evenings.
The
public is invited to walk at the high school from 6 to 8 p.m. Mondays
through Thursdays beginning Monday, Nov. 4, and continuing through
April 3, 2014. There will be no walking during Christmas break. Also,
if school is closed during a day or there are parent/teacher
conferences, then it will be closed to walking that evening. A
complete calendar of available walking dates will be available to
walkers at the sign-in desk.
Greenville High
School
opened its doors to walkers many years ago. The Greenville Board of
Education has continued to support this activity in the high school.
Last year,
dozens of people
enjoyed the program. Greenville City Schools is happy to support this
wellness activity to benefit residents of the community. Seven and a
half laps around the interior hallway loop is equivalent to one mile.
Walkers go in a clockwise direction on Mondays and Wednesdays and
counterclockwise on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The district is
please to
provide a safe, free and warm place for people to walk. The program
does not cost the school district extra money because volunteers
monitor the walkers and custodians are usually working in the
building during the evening. Thank you to those who help monitoring
the activity including SADD Club, IMTV, Supply Chain Management,
Student Council, NJROTC and members of the school board and school
district personnel.
Those
interested in walking
at the high school are asked to enter by the main entrance by the
flagpole, sign in upon arrival and check off their name when leaving.
Walkers are asked to walk only on the first floor. No running or
jogging is allowed. Also not allowed are wheeled items such as
strollers and skateboards. Students under the age of 10 must be
accompanied by a parent or adult.
Enjoy the
activity to
assist you with your wellness.
