BJHS FUNDRAISER

September 23rd- 27th 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 14, 2012. Based in Newtown, Connecticut, Sandy Hook Promise’s 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 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 next week as we work to help ALL students at BJHS feel connected by starting with hello and participating in our activities.
Monday will be “Hey Day” NJHS students will be wearing “Hello my name is” name tags. Students will wear name tags all day and say hello to someone new! If you are not a NJHS student and want to participate say hello to an NJHS student and ask for a name tag so you can participate too! You can also stop by our start with hello week table in the lunchroom to buy a bracelet for $1.00 and get a name tag for hey day!
Tuesday “Random Acts of Kindness Day” - Do something nice for someone! Be the reason someone smiles today! Share what made you smile today on our smile wall in the lunchroom.
Wednesday We will have a mix it up lunch with “Lifesavers in the lunchroom” Get a lifesaver on your way into lunch then find someone with the same lifesaver flavor as you and invite them to sit with you. Be sure to include everyone at lunch, if you see someone who is sitting alone invite them to sit by you then try out some of the icebreakers on the table to get the conversation going!
Thursday - “Compliments Day” - Try and compliment at least three people today! Not only are compliments appreciated by the receiver, they make the giver feel great too! Compliments are an easy way to connect positively with those around you. It creates friendships, brightens your day, and feels good!!
