“Start with Hello” Week “Start with Hello” Week is a national program started by families of Sandy Hook victims to prevent student violence and isolation. By reaching out to others—especially those who seem different or alone—we can help everyone feel more included and connected. Next week, Ms. Chambless will be meeting with students to teach lessons on the importance of inclusion and how we can all learn to look out for one another. The program focuses on building empathy and empowers students to end social isolation by following three simple steps: 1. See someone alone 2. Reach out and help 3. Start with Hello! Be sure to check out some of our planned activities for next week, and talk with your students about the importance of making others feel seen, heard, and included

Mrs. Camargo is the face of our campus! No matter how crazy the day is, she always has a smile. We appreciate her willingness to help support our entire campus community! Well done, ladies!
