BRHS gets outside
Students at Boothbay Region High School (BRHS) are about to take their exercise outside, and off campus, thanks to a recent grant from the MaineHealth Community Health Improvement Fund that allows the school to buy about 20 mountain bikes, helmets, snowshoes and a storage unit. The unit will be a semi-permanent structure that can be moved in case of construction. The Improvement Fund previously awarded BRHS a grant for an outdoor ropes challenge course, which was installed last summer.
BRHS Athletic Administrator Dennis Dacus said physical education (phys ed) programs would love to do more outdoor activities, both to diversify their offerings and foster an interest in nature with students, but money is often a barrier. “Without these two grants, this would just be a pipe dream,” he said.
