Greenville City Schools
GHS Walking Program
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. 30, and continuing
through March 25, 2021. 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.
In the past, 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, Varsity G Club,
NJROTC, Key Club, Foreign Language Clubs, Student Council, Med Tech,
student body, 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, wear a mask upon entering and
leaving the building to sign in and out, social distance from one
another while walking at least six feet apart, sign in upon arrival and
check off your name when leaving. While exercising, or walking, a mask
is not required but social distancing is from people that are not in
your family. 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.
