"Start with Hello"
“Start with Hello” Spirit Week: NJHS, Student Council, and Craft Club have planned a “Start with Hello” Spirit Week at Founders Academy to raise awareness and money for Sandy Hook Promise. Please participate and encourage students to participate in all activities. Start with Hello is a prevention program that teaches children and teens how to be more socially inclusive and connected to each other. Start With Hello asks students, educators, parents and other community leaders who interact with children to take steps in class, the lunchroom and/or other times in their day to be inclusive and connected. Sandy Hook Promise (SHP) is a national, nonprofit organization based in Newtown, Connecticut. SHP is led by several family members whose loved ones were killed in the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook School on December 14, 2012. SHP’s sole purpose is to educate and empower parents, schools and community organizations on how to prevent gun violence BEFORE it happens.
Monday: Green Out Day - Please wear green to support Start with Hello! Green is Sandy Hook's school color.
Tuesday: Switch-it-up Day - Student groupings will be "switched up" during Advisory to help students get to know others on different teams!
Wednesday: Positive Affirmation Day - Each student will receive a positive affirmation card at Town Meeting!
Thursday: After School Mixer Day- Students are invited to attend an after-school "mixer" day - complete with a Photo-booth, snacks, and games!
Friday: Design Contest Voting Day - Student T-Shirt or pin designs that encourage the Start with Hello Message will be presented and voted on. All money from T-Shirts and Pins sold will be donated to Sandy Hook Promise.
