“Start with Hello Week” is a national initiative that teaches students the power of inclusion and connection. During this week, we encourage kindness, empathy, and awareness by helping students reach out to others who may feel lonely or left out. Through activities, conversations, and simple greetings, students learn that small gestures—like saying hello—can make a big difference in creating a welcoming school community. The goal is to build stronger relationships and foster a sense of belonging for everyone.
