purchase the Salad Bar option at lunch. We will open it up to the middle school
students first to see how it works, and then add grades to be able to

Start With Hello Week - This September
24-28, your child will be taking part in Start With Hello Week at
OLPH School. 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
classroom, school or youth organization. Social isolation is the overwhelming
feeling of being left out, lonely, or treated like you are invisible. It is a
growing epidemic in the United States and within our schools. Excessive
feelings of isolation can be associated with violent and suicidal behavior. In
fact, one study reports that chronic loneliness increases the risk of an early
death by 14%. Furthermore, young people who are isolated can become victims of
bullying, violence and/or depression. As a result, many further pull away from
society, struggle with learning and social development and/or choose to hurt
themselves or others. We encourage you to talk to your child about the Start
With Hello program and ask them to share what they have learned. Not
only will that help you learn how to support your child to identify isolation,
reach out and connect, and Start With Hello, it also
demonstrates to your child that you take this subject seriously and can support
them in their actions to create a more connected and inclusive home, classroom,
school and community. Finally, we encourage you to support your child in
sharing their Start With Hello story by submitting their creative expressions
to the Start With Hello Student Voices Contest at
https://www.sandyhookpromise.org/studentcontest. For more information on Start
With Hello and to sign up to receive the Start With Hello Parent
Brochure, please visit: http://www.sandyhookpromise.org/bringstartwithhello.
Activities through the week include the following:
Monday- A
powerpoint presentation for grades 2-8 on Start With Hello Week
Tuesday-
Lifesaver Day. Lifesaver day is when students go around and give other students
lifesaver candies, provided by Beta Club, to represent that one small act of
kindness can save a life.
Wednesday-
Wear Green Day (Sandy Hook Promise’s colors) to further promote awareness and
call attention to Sandy Hook Promise’s Start With Hello Week. Students may
wear a green shirt with their uniform bottoms.
Thursday-Throughout
the day, Beta officers will go around to classrooms talking to students about Start
with Hello Week and why this is so important.
