Marathon High School’s Champions for Change/SAVE Promise Club hosted Start With Hello Week, encouraging students to help end social isolation and create a more inclusive and connected school community.

Throughout the week, students learned simple ways to recognize and reach out to those who may feel left out or alone. Activities included an online presentation, Lunch and Learn events, Chalk About It and a Start With Hello scavenger hunt, giving students fun and meaningful ways to connect with one another across campus.

The week’s message was a simple one with the power to make a difference: Creating a more welcoming school can start with something as easy as saying hello.
