Athens County Creating Healthy Communities Coalition

Creating Healthy Communities partnered with Athens City School District last week to host an Ohio Department of Transportation Active Transportation Academy Crossing Guard Training at The Plains Intermediate School. Twenty participants from Athens and surrounding counties learned about how crossing guards can increase pedestrian safety and reduce chaos during school arrivals and dismissals. Where in Athens County do you think crossing guards are needed?

Athens County CHC recently partnered with Athens County Public Libraries, Athens Bicycle Club and Franklinton Cycle Works to host a bike repair event at the Glouster library branch. The rain did not stop Glouster comunity members from coming out to work on their bikes with skilled mechanics and friendly librarians!
