WHS Principal Jes Sealey, left, and ECHS teacher Karlyn Stephens show their commitment for Take the Lake.
Thank you Heather Wing at Columbus County Schools, and Anthony Martin at Whiteville for inspiring hundreds of your employees to join Take the Lake!

We passed out these team sign up / challenge / rally / commitment posters to all the schools and are thrilled at the response!

Wing and Martin were able to shake up 173 teachers and staff members to participate in Take the Lake, either by taking on one of our four Personal Endurance Challenges, or by volunteering at a hospitality house representing their schools along the Walk / Run and Bike & Hike routes.
