Joining StepUp Groups

Your School or Department Wellness Coach will create a school/department StepUp group for you to join. This group will be used to support participation and report step totals at the school or department level.

In addition, all participants should also join the districtwide StepUp group listed below.

Recommended: Join the “All BCS” StepUp Group. 

This group connects all Brunswick County Schools participants and allows us to celebrate movement across the entire district in a healthy competition.
