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.
