On Aug. 31 The Steppin’ Out Bunch, a group of retired school system employees, hosted a day of music, food, dancing and reconnecting with friends at Martin’s West, in Baltimore, Maryland. The event began in 2009 when 18 retirees joined Mildred Long Harper to mark the start of a school year that they would no longer have to work during. Since then, the number of attendees has grown to 1,200 and proceeds go to scholarships the group gives out.
