We reached our biometric screening goal!

It is my pleasure to announce that we have surpassed our wellness goal of 800 biometric screening participants for the 2019/2020 year. This is a major accomplishment to be proud of that demonstrates how serious we are about putting our health first. A round of applause goes to all of the BST’s, Secretaries, Administrators and of course our participants that helped make this year a success! Without everyone’s support this would not have been possible.
