This is our 2nd year of the Step Up Challenge!  Each building will track their steps for 4 weeks in JANUARY! 
The total steps will be divided by the number of employees working in the building(s) – so it is important that everyone participate.  You can sign up with your building’s wellness leader (FHU is Deborah Hanson dhanson@arsu.org) and receive a tracking form.  Your weekly steps should be turned in on Friday each week to your wellness leader. 
The building with the most average steps will win!
