Students must sign up on Fridays to participate in activities that will be held the following week. Principal Kathy Wilson said the start time was moved up to accommodate people who would like to walk before they go to work. She said those people who have been starting their walk at 8 a.m. may still do so. Participants are asked to check in at a table that is located just inside the entrance to the commons. The walking loop begins there and circles the sophomore locker area, past the office and on toward Willis Gym where the path circles the freshman lockers before coming back toward the check-in table.
Participants are welcome to walk the loop as often as they like within the allotted time.
