Old Mill Road students identify their sources of strength

Through interactive activities hosted by presenters from Sources of Strength, students at Old Mill Road Elementary School promoting inclusivity, patience, and acceptance.

Under the leadership of Sources of Strength trainer Debbie Caputo, students participated in discussions, collaborative games and reflective exercises designed to help them better understand themselves and others. Activities focused on identifying personal strengths, building empathy and recognizing the importance of kindness and support within their school communities. In one exercise, students worked together to solve the challenge of freeing themselves while pieces of strings tied to their hands held them together. In another, students swapped seats as groups stood to share fun facts about themselves. The Sources of Strength initiative emphasizes the power of connection and resilience, encouraging students to lean on trusted relationships and positive influences.
