"Start with Hello Week" is a program that promotes inclusion and belonging. The goal of the program is that students learn to be inclusive and that no student ever feels isolated or feels that they don't belong. We have Greeters every morning this week to welcome our students as they arrive to school. In addition, we have daily challenges and activities/discussions during the day. Our counselor, Miss Chambless, will be doing lessons for students on being inclusive everyday during Specials!
Our mantra: 1. See someone alone 2. Reach out and help 3. Start with hello.
Today, Monday, September 18, we had our HS ColorGuard alternating between performing with music and reaching out to our students with expressions of welcome.
Today's Daily Challenge: Reach out to anyone playing, eating and socializing by themselves.








Elementary students rocked our first set of drills last week. Our campus completed a lockout/secure, lockdown and evacuation drill.




4th graders have been studying mixtures and solutions. Last week's experiment allowed students to make their own lemonade. Some recipes didn't include quite enough sugar!






Last week's highlights from the elementary campus include gym time with Ready, Set, Teach high schoolers, small groups, sight word practice in kindergarten and friends working together on the computer.
