START WITH HELLO 2018
September 24th-28th NJHS will be leading our school in participating in "Start With Hello Week". Start With Hello Week is organized by Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit organization led by several family members who lost loved ones at the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on December 14th, 2012. Based in Newtown, Connecticut, Sandy Hook Promises mission is to prevent gun violence BEFORE it happens by teaching youth and adults how to recognize the signs, intervene and get help for individuals who may be at-risk of hurting themselves or others. Start with Hello teaches students, grades 2-12, the skills they need to reach out to and include those who may be dealing with chronic social isolation and create a culture of inclusion and connectedness within their school. Please join us this week as we work to help ALL students at BJHS feel connected by starting with hello and participating in our activities. Each day of the week starting Monday will be a theme.

Friday "Compliments Day"- compliment someone today! Let someone know how much you appreciate them, how amazing they are, or thank someone for all they do! Tell them or write a note!

During the week in the lunchroom students can take the pledge to include others and help stop violence before it takes place by writing your name on a hand and adding it to our tree.
