Berkley High School Celebrates Sources of Strength Week

The week of April 29th, Berkley High School’s Sources of Strength class hosted Sources of Strength Week.  Sources of Strength is a leadership class that works on reducing the stigma of mental health struggles and connecting students to the strengths that surround them each day.  

Throughout the week, students planned theme days that highlighted some of the strengths on the Sources of Strength wheel.

Themes for the week included:

• Generosity: raising money through Penny Wars 
• Mentors: take a picture with your trusted adult in the building 
• Healthy Activities: Puppies & Projects where students made slime and spent time with therapy dogs
• Positive Friends: Courtyard Karaoke at lunch singing songs with friends
• Celebration: Feels (Field) Day Mashup with games in the gym

Peer Leaders were able to use their ideas and creativity to spread the message of hope, help and strength throughout our school.
