After a few weeks of school, Locust Valley Central School District students from grades pre-K to 5 learned more about their classmates with themed days during Start with Hello Week from Sept. 23-27.
Throughout the week, students showcased their individuality and discovered common ground to make new friends. On Monday, students wore name tags around their schools and were encouraged to say hello to as many people as possible. Students wore rainbow colors and tie-dye on Tuesday to represent the gamut of emotions we experience throughout life. For Mix It Up Wednesday, students wore mismatched, backward or inside-out clothing. Thursday was Jersey Day where students wore the jerseys of their favorite teams to represent teamwork and cooperation. To close out the week, students celebrated Falcon Friday by wearing green or Locust Valley gear to show off their school pride.
