This week, MCSD kicks off Start With Hello Week, a powerful initiative that teaches students how small, intentional actions can create big waves of inclusion and belonging.
Start With Hello Week encourages students to:
• Reach out to someone who may feel alone
• Start conversations that build connection
• Include others in daily activities
• Notice those who may be isolated and offer kindness
Across the district, each school has planned special daily activities designed to help students practice saying “hello,” making new friends, and ensuring every child feels part of our MCSD family.
From morning greetings to buddy benches, kindness chains, classroom challenges, and schoolwide inclusion events — our students are learning that a simple hello can change someone’s day.
