Dear TBHS Community,
Happy September! We had a great week this week with beautiful weather that allowed plenty of sunshine during lunches, practices, and games outside. We are gearing up for our first full week of school and it will be busy.
On Wednesday, September 10th, Sandy Hook Promise is coming to present to High School students during Flex their “Start With Hello” programming. Here is more information.
Who is Sandy Hook Promise?
Sandy Hook Promise is a national nonprofit organization founded and led by several family members whose loved ones were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. Their mission is “to educate and empower youth and adults to prevent violence in schools, homes, and communities.”
What is Starts with Hello?
A training program that empowers students to reduce social isolation and strengthen school communities by teaching practical strategies for building peer relationships.
How does this happen?
A kick-off assembly, lessons and activities in Flex, and student organizations.
Why bring it to Bromfield?
Sandy Hook Promise was brought to our attention by a Harvard resident and parent of alumni.
The mission and goals align with our district/school vision of a sense of belonging.
Our belonging survey and the Youth Risk Behavior Survey indicate some room for improvement in this area.
Thinking ahead, we have the TBHS Curriculum Night on September 18th from 6pm-7:30pm. You will be following your student’s schedule and meeting their educators in their different classrooms. More information coming soon!
Also to note (and book haircuts as needed ha!), school pictures are on Friday, September 26th!
Of course, these are only a snapshot of the range of academic, social, and emotional learning happening at TBS!
Please let us know if you have any questions! Below you will find upcoming dates and school/community events.
Best,
Kim
