On June 5, the Bethpage High School community gathered on the field after school for the annual Sources of Strength Wellness Walk, a vibrant celebration of connection, resilience and mental health awareness. This highly anticipated event brought students, staff and families together to enjoy food, fun and friendship while learning about the important work of the Sources of Strength program.
The afternoon featured an array of engaging activities designed to promote wellness and build community. Food trucks were onsite offering delicious options for students to enjoy as they socialized with friends. A spike ball tournament and cornhole games added friendly competition to the mix, while a DJ kept the energy high with upbeat music. The central focus of the event—the Wellness Walk itself—invited participants to walk the track together, symbolizing the journey toward mental wellness and mutual support.
The event also provided an opportunity for students to learn more about the Sources of Strength program and how they can get involved in the upcoming school year. Sources of Strength is a suicide prevention and mental health promotion program that focuses on cultivating protective factors like healthy coping, resilience and a sense of belonging.
As the school year winds down, the Wellness Walk was a great way for everyone to come together, have fun, and show support for each other.
