## Eagles Mere Conservancy

We teamed up with the Eagles Mere Conservancy to spread a little extra kindness and connect with new friends. We enjoyed reading the cheerful story Ricky the Rock that Couldn't Roll together, which sparked conversations about resilience, inclusion, and empathy. Everyone had a blast painting Kindness Rocks—colorful stones with uplifting messages meant to brighten someone’s day. Now, our kindness rocks are scattered around the community, ready to share a smile with anyone who finds them!

## Summer, Stories, and Snacks

We wrapped up our summer-long program Summer, Stories, and Snacks. We’re grateful to everyone who participated and made this summer such a memorable experience. Want to see all the fun we had this summer? Check out the full recap at the link below!

## Independent Living Fun-ducational Trip

Bethany and the Independent Living group had a wonderful adventure to the Clarks Summit/Scranton area! We mixed fun with learning—zipping around the go-kart track to practice our driving skills, sharpening our hand-eye coordination in the arcade, and staying active on the mini-golf course. We also brushed up on our manners and social skills over a delicious meal at Red Lobster. Everyone tried something new!

## School Prevention Programs

School kicked off in Sullivan County on August 21st! Some of our programs got started right away, while others will begin after we return from [Pathways](https://news.sulcovs.org/pathways-2025). Here’s what we’ve launched so far this month:

- Second Step Bullying Prevention in 4th and 5th grades
- Too Good for Drugs and Violence in 6th grade
