On March 28th, ERHS juniors who are members of our Sources of Strength program attended the 3rd annual Long Island Wellness Summit in Merrick. East Rockaway was one of the 33 Long Island schools who attended the Summit to learn about the signs of mental health challenges. Our students attended workshops geared toward learning team-building skills, self-worth and confidence.

Sources of Strength aims to provide training in the prevention of suicide, violence, bullying and substance abuse, while supporting and empowering peer leaders and trusted adults to create a sense of connection and community within their schools.

We are so proud of our students who are sharing the lessons they are learning, always exhibiting kindness and empathy and supporting their peers in times of need.

Students kicked off our updated “Rhame Rules” initiative with a poster contest highlighting three main school rules:

1. Use kind words
2. Be safe (keep your hands to yourself)
3. Follow teachers’ directions

The students presented amazing art creations, which are posted around the school to remind all students of the Rhame Rules.

Congratulations to the winning poster creators Liam Rodriguez and Vincent Vilardi, both 5th graders. Their poster received prime placement near the main office and they were honored as Principals for a Day on Mar. 29th.
