“Steptember” Event at the Elementary Schools
Cut Bank Trails recently celebrated the success of its annual Steptember event, a community-wide initiative encouraging residents to get outside and stay active by walking the local trails or simply getting out for a daily walk.
This year, HC Davis Elementary and Anna Jeffries Elementary students joined in the fun, thanks to the enthusiasm of Ms. Hawks, the PE teacher at HC Davis and Anna Jeffries Schools who incorporated the challenge into their school activities.
To recognize their efforts, Cut Bank Trails Board Members Arkaidy Wisniowska, Gabe Taylor, and Jeanine Sundby visited both schools to hand out prizes. The prizes were purchased from local businesses, highlighting the event’s community spirit and support for local merchants. Adding to the excitement, the Cut Bank Masonic Lodge No. 82 generously donated six sleds to be given away to participating students.
Cody Krapf of the Masonic Lodge also attended the event, closing the prize giveaway with an inspiring message that encouraged students to be kind and respectful and listen to their parents and teachers.
Board members shared that they hope to partner with local schools again next year to make Steptember even bigger and better. The event was a wonderful example of how collaboration between schools, local organizations, and community members can promote health, wellness, and community pride.
Cut Bank Trails thanks everyone who participated and supported this year’s Steptember event, it was truly a great experience!
