STEPS Success Stories Burke Elementary School Staff Team Up

for STEPS Success

Burke Elementary STEPS team (left to right): Kim Harris, Sagufa Khan, Cindy Brown, Joyce O'Guin

• We four ladies at Burke have been doing the STEPS Challenge since day one. As we are four middle-aged ladies, health and fitness are very important to us. These challenges come at a time for us when we realize our bodies need a little help; not temporary help, but a real lifestyle change so we may enter the next phase of our lives healthy and fit.

• We participate in the STEPS Challenge as a team. It motivates us when we know we’re accountable to one another. We especially liked the challenge where you get points for resting.

• We’re looking forward to the next STEPS Challenge!
