Students at Trail Ridge Middle School recently shared their creativity and insight through a Sources of Strength art contest centered on the theme: What helps you when you feel stressed, anxious, angry or sad? More than 30 students submitted thoughtful entries, each highlighting healthy ways to cope with difficult emotions and find support.

Sources of Strength peer leaders reviewed the submissions and selected the top five winners, who were recognized with Sonic drinks. Congratulations to Makenna Pritchard, Eva Essenberg, Sonia Basilio, Juliehivic Jakeline and Parker Rawsen for their outstanding artwork. The contest helped continue the program’s mission of spreading messages of hope, help and strength, with student artwork now displayed throughout Trail Ridge Middle School.
