Teachers at Bluffton Elementary School are continuing to earn funds for student health improvement through the Health Action Council’s Healthy Kids Spring 2023 Challenge.  Achieving 640,130 average total steps and earning the title of Top Steppers, team members Missy Smith, Heidi Steiner, Jaime Combs and Ryan Dunlap will receive $1,500 for the school.  

Here’s an example of how challenge funds are used: this month gym teacher Ryan Dunlap introduced the entire elementary to new 9-square sets. He was able to purchase two sets and extra balls with money earned from council challenges.
