On Monday, Miami-Dade became the first school district in the country to implement Sandy Hook Promise — a violence-prevention program founded by Hockley and others who lost family members during the massacre — in all of its schools.
The district launched the initiative with an assembly at John A. Ferguson Senior High School in West Kendall, which piloted the program last year. Students passed out name tags and wore T-shirts emblazoned with “Start with Hello,” a call to greet classmates and reach out to isolated students.
“It’s about stopping these acts from ever happening in the first place and a lot of that can be done at a program level by teaching people,” Hockley said.
Sandy Hook Promise aims to foster social inclusion and also trains students and staff to recognize signs of trouble and intervene before students turn to violence. Last year, students at Ferguson High organized activities like “speed friending,” and encouraged classmates to have lunch with someone who was eating alone and to share positive messages written on post-it notes.
