Walking Program - A fun opportunity to interact with students in a casual setting.  Volunteers arrive a few minutes before 6:45 a.m. to help set up and finish around 7:25 a.m.  Students walk from approximately 6:50 a.m. to approximately 7:15 a.m. and volunteers are welcome to walk along with the student during this time.  At the bell, students return their lap rings and write their tally on clipboards.  Volunteers stay until the last student has left the arena.  Walking takes place Monday through Friday mornings.  We welcome volunteers to sign up for a specific morning each week or to volunteer for "as needed" position.  We prefer at least two volunteers per morning.
