Swimming, Volleyball, Cross Country- whatever it may be- walk through the dark, mud and trees early in the morning or late at night. The “path” to the church’s parking lots isn’t a path at all, but rather a stretch where the grass has died and shoes have packed down the dirt. Puddles and sloppy patches of grass create brown shoes and tripping hazards.“We walk in the dark for morning practice,” Sophomore Lillian Straub said. “It may sometimes feel unsafe when it’s so dark and you hear the animals in the woods; it’s scary because there is no light provided to see what is around.”Students like Straub who park in Good Shepherd and Oakland have a lengthy, unlit walk to Kennedy. The walk from the parking lot to the school is five to seven minutes, cutting through the baseball batting cages and wet patches of grass. Without the shortcut, the walk is much longer.“The physical environment of the school was a contributing factor in over a third (39.7%) of injuries occurring in the school, on the schoolyard or during the journey to or from school,” Statistics from the National Library of Medicine (NIH) said.In the past, a sidewalk from the horseshoe to the north lot was added- the idea of pavement or lights wouldn’t be unprecedented.“Concrete paths instead of gravel,” Sophomore Solae Oltmanns said. “That will avoid a muddy mess on everyone’s shoes and throughout the building.” </div></body>
