An Olentangy Education Foundation grant, made possible by the generosity of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center brought STRENGTH to Olentangy Meadows Elementary School this year.
STRENGTH is a before school empowerment program for girls in the fifth grade at OMES. STRENGTH empowers young girls to gain confidence within themselves to make decisions about choices that lead towards happiness, positive self-esteem, and success as the girls enter middle school.
