Brookville students participate in kindness initiative

Brookville Area students are engaging in a week of intentional acts of kindness designed to promote relationship-building and a sense of belonging at school. According to WJAC TV, the activities are part of the “Start with Hello Week,” an initiative started through Sandy Hook Promise.

H – Monday – Give “Hi’s and High Five’s” to everyone you see! Wear your Hawaiian shirt and accessories as we say “Aloha.”

E – Tuesday – “Encourage everyone” – Write a compliment to a teacher or classmate. Wear bright colors to brighten someone’s day!

L – Wednesday – “Learn the names of other students” – Ask the name of people you don’t know on the school bus, on the playground and in the cafeteria. Wear comfy clothes so you get comfortable greeting new people.

L – Thursday – “Look for people who need you” – Pay attention to others who are sitting alone at lunch or help someone in class. Go out of your way to do something kind for others. Wear your favorite outfit to school today!

O – Friday – “Own it day” – Make it your job to smile and be friendly. Be the person who smiles at others, greets people and calls them by name. Wear your Raider gear to show people that being kind is the way we do things at Brookville.
