Hall Walking
In addition to supporting our students and staff, Colchester School District (CSD) would like to support residents in making healthy choices. The purpose of this program is to offer opportunities to community members who want to be physically active. This program is going to be run “at your own risk”. Please prepare appropriately and contact your doctor for medical guidance. Colchester School District will not be held liable for property or injury.
This program is available at the following locations during the listed days and times:
Mallets Bay School: MORNING: 6:00-7:30 AM, AFTERNOONS/EVENINGS: 4:00-8:00 PM

To ensure safety and the success of this program, the following rules have been established.
