The inter-school competition ran from Jan. 13 through March 23, with Jefferson teachers and staff winning with the most steps walked. Participants kept track of how many steps they walked with pedometers.

Jefferson overall contest winners were (front row, L to R): Kevin Brown, second, 1,182,257 steps; Dana Stogsdill, third, 1,162,572 steps; and Scott McClintock, first, 1,759,596. Also pictured are most of the other Jefferson staff who took part in the contest.

Leesburg overall contest winners were: Connie Watters, first, 1,135,827 steps; Jason Roler, second, 834,659 steps; and Jennifer Stafford, third, 729,206 steps.
