COUNSELOR’S CORNER
Start with Hello Week: Beginning Monday, 8th grade leaders from the SAVE Promise Club will be kicking off a week of activities around Start With Hello Week. The student-led club is in its second year at Hall and focuses on developing events and activities throughout the year that build a more inclusive school community. They also help Mr. Evans in delivering bully prevention presentations as well as peer restorative meetings when conflict occurs. On Tuesday (no school Wednesday) thru Friday a number of tables will be set up in the courtyard for students to connect with others through board games, bracelet making, face painting, gratitude grams, musical chairs, and more.
