Physical requirements

Our school is located on a mountain at 5500 feet of elevation. We do have sidewalks, but the terrain can be rocky and, depending on the year, muddy. It can be a steep climb from one building to the next. Our environment is not considerate of those with physical or health ailments. Being in a heavily forested area also gives us a potential throughout the year for high pollen counts and pollution rates.
