Brevard Public Schools (BPS) is inviting the community to take advantage of expanded access to the stadium tracks at Viera High School and Satellite High School. On December 20 and 27, as well as January 3 and 10, stadium lights at both schools will be turned on from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., creating a safe, well-lit space for walking, running, and staying active.
The initiative reflects BPS’s commitment to promoting health and wellness across Brevard County. By opening school facilities after hours, the district aims to encourage physical activity, strengthen family connections, and foster positive community engagement in a welcoming environment.
“Any community member is allowed to come,” said School Board Chairman Matt Susin. “We want to give families and individuals a chance to stay active, connect, and build healthy habits.” Susin added, “This is part of a larger focus on health and wellness for our students, both during the school day and beyond, ensuring they have opportunities to build lifelong habits that support their overall well-being.”
On January 10th from 6:00–8:00 PM at Viera High School’s track, the evening will feature a School Mascot Olympics where school mascots from across the district will face off in a friendly competition with a variety of high-energy fitness activities.
“We want our schools to come out and support their mascot for a fun night centered around promoting healthy lifestyles for students across our schools and community,” said Shannon Daly, Principal of Manatee Elementary School.
The opportunity is made possible through generous funding provided by Health First, whose support underscores the importance of community partnerships in building a healthier Brevard. BPS looks forward to seeing residents of all ages take part in these community track access nights, designed to support wellness, and togetherness.
