Strengths Discovery Day

Strengths Discovery Day was February 19. All students PreK-12 and all staff received a Freeman Strengths t-shirt, then had a kick-off in the north gym, including an all-school picture.  The full day of workshops, lead by teachers and other guests, helped us discover, learn, and use our individual strengths. The Kindergarten through fourth grade students were divided into three groups while grades five through twelve were divided into four groups.   A total of fourteen different sessions were presented.

Our keynote for the day was DeMoine Adams, former Husker football player and the program director for TeamMates Mentoring Program.  Adams spoke of the importance of focusing on your strengths, not on your weaknesses. Our guest panel, including Andrew Johansen of E Energy Adams, Sara Brune of Striv TV, and Brian Rosenthal, Writer and Creative Content Specialist for Huskers.com, explained how they use their top five strengths on the job.  Other sessions included strengths discovery, strengths metaphors, strengths scavenger hunt, STEM activities, strengths spotting, and discovering how we use our strengths.  The day ended with a pep rally celebrating our strengths led by Mrs. Delhay, and included a timed blindfold race between Mrs. Sieh with the elementary student council and Mr. Delhay with the high school student council (Mr. Delhay won).

Strengths Discovery Day would not have been possible without the funding provided by Grant and Laura Francke, Nelnet, and grants from Midwest Farmer’s Cooperative and Nebraska Investment Finance Authority (NIFA).  For more Freeman Strengths information follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.  #freemanstrengths
