We would like to thank all the faculty, staff, and students that participated in The Step With It Program. It was a tremendous success. Also, we want to thank Mrs. Noel's math classes for calculating the results. Good Hope Middle School walked 28, 359,902 steps. The average was 11,254 steps per individual. Hopefully, this project made each of us aware of the importance of physical activity in leading a healthy and active lifestyle. We are looking forward to doing it again next year.
