GHS Walking Program Starts Nov. 3
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. 3, and continuing
through March 19, 2015. 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 pleased 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.
