From September 15th-18th, Plato Academy Tarpon Springs will hold their third annual Start With Hello Week. Start With Hello Week raises awareness about social isolation and educates students on how to prevent it.

In Honor of the Sandy Hook Promise, Plato Academy Tarpon Springs will be having themed days and planned some small activities each day.

• Monday – “Hey Day” <Yellow Day> Wear a yellow shirt to brighten someone’s day. During car line arrival, our faculty and safety patrols will be welcoming everyone with a smiley sticker to remind everyone to Start with Hello. Teachers will start the day with a class meeting that revolves around accepting everyone an building a community built on kindness.
• Tuesday – “Random Acts of Kindness Day” – <Super Hero> Everyone Wears Super Hero shirts. Channel your inner super hero for a day filled with ACTS OF KINDNESS! All Plato Warriors will be committing random acts of kindness to show our appreciation to each other and our school community. Students can plan their own or take an idea from the list attached, which will be provided in homerooms.
• Wednesday – “Start with Hello Day” – <Green Out> Everyone Wears Green! Use today to talk to someone new. Reach out to a classmate you don’t know well and learn about them.
• Thursday – “Smile Wall” – < House Color> Celebrate the good times (and our PBIS Houses). Teachers will hang smile boards and Plato Warriors will be sharing what acts of kindness or actions that made them smile throughout the week.
