Start with Hello Week 2019From September 23-27th, 2019, thousands of schools and youth organizations across the United States will participate in Start With Hello Week. When you sign up, you’re bringing attention to the growing epidemic of social isolation and building empathy in the classroom.

Start with Hello Week is intended to honor all victims of gun violence by turning tragedy into a moment of transformation by providing programs and practices that protect children from gun violence. This movement is championed by the Sandy Hook Promise. Sandy Hook Promise was founded in the aftermath of the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary on December 14, 2012 that claimed the lives of 20 first-graders and six educators.

By uniting people of all beliefs and backgrounds who value the protection of children to take meaningful actions in their homes and communities, we will prevent gun violence and stop the tragic loss of life.
