Start with Hello: Building a Culture of Kindness

We were excited to kick off Start with Hello Week at Joshua Dixon Elementary, marking the beginning of our Always Be Kind PBIS/PAX weekly lessons! This special week sets the tone for a school year focused on kindness, empathy, and positive relationships. A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Raub-Carney for organizing this meaningful event and for creating classroom lessons that help students develop essential social-emotional skills. Students engaged in activities focusing on friendship building, relationship skills, empathy, and wellness, as well as understanding the difference between helpful communication and tattling. Start with Hello Week is more than just a week of activities, it’s a reminder that small acts of kindness and connection can make a big difference in creating a supportive and welcoming school community.
