SANDY HOOK PROMISE "START WITH HELLO" | SUFFOLK COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE

Geared for students in grades K-12, teaches children, teens and young adults how to be more socially inclusive and connected to one another. Start With Hello educates students on how to be more socially inclusive to prevent feelings of social isolation, feelings of being left out or unnoticed, further preventing the risk of school violence. Start with Hello teaches students, educators, parents and other community leaders to make sure that no one eats alone. This simple action instills the power and reward of social inclusion – that when you see someone alone at lunch (or across any other experience), say hello, introduce yourself, ask them to join you. Contact the Community Relations Office to have this program offered at your school.
