Shout out to the Westminster Expanded Learning Team (CA) for intentionally and creatively integrating Thrively into their daily programming. Frontline staff are actively bringing Thrively’s Core 4 learning conditions to life Strengths, Well-Being, Hope, and Connections by embedding them into routines, student recognition, and the physical learning environment. Across their programs, the team has made strengths visible through engaging initiatives such as strengths-themed bulletin boards, a Thrively room decoration contest, “Thrively Student of the Month” certificates, and information boards that help families understand the impact of strengths-based learning.

A special recognition goes to Mr. Ryan Nguyen and his team at the Fryberger Boys and Girls Club ASES afterschool program. As a dedicated Thrively Champion, Ryan has led his team to remarkable progress they are currently just 1% away from reaching 100% Strengths Assessment completion. Their commitment reflects how Expanded Learning programs can create powerful environments where students feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive both during and beyond the school day.
