Start with Hello!
This week’s Positive Message...This week is National START WITH HELLO Week!: The purpose of START WITH HELLO Week is to build a stronger sense of community at our schools by taking extra steps to ensure that all of our students have a sense of belonging on our campus. Social isolation can become a serious issue and we take great efforts to eliminate it. Young people who experience social isolation can become a victim of bullying, violence and/or depression. Our HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE at BMMS is when each and every Raider feels safe and part of a community where they are supported, empowered, and united. Our staff works hard to make this a reality for all of our students.
This week we will have extra activities on campus to continue to strengthen our community. We hope you’ll join in on the fun for START WITH HELLO week. Say “hello” to someone new this week. Make someone a card letting them know you’re thinking of them. Perform a Random Act of Kindness to make someone’s day. Resource: Sandy Hook Promise. www.sandyhookpromise.org
