This was the Academy’s first-ever Say Something Week! Events were planned and produced by 6th-8th grade students trained in both Start With Hello and Say Something earlier in the school year. These student leaders were eager to share the messages with the rest of the student body, but first wanted to know more about what their peers knew and thought about violence prevention and school safety. They created a survey to gather baseline data to gauge beliefs and experiences surrounding school violence prevention.
In addition to daily themed activities, students hosted a March Tiger Teen Summit on the topic of Say Something. During this virtual summit, survey results were shared, and students had a chance to engage in a student-led Town Hall. Snitching versus being an upstander was a hot topic. Great student leadership, Tigers!

Sandy Hook Promise (SHP) is a national, nonprofit organization based in Newtown, Connecticut. We are led by several family members whose loved ones were killed in the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012, that claimed the lives of 20 first-graders and 6 educators. SHP is focused on preventing gun violence (and other forms of violence and victimization) BEFORE it happens by educating and mobilizing youth and adults on mental health and wellness programs that identify, intervene and help at-risk individuals. SHP is a moderate, above-the-politics organization that supports sensible non-policy and policy solutions that protect children and prevent gun violence. Our intent is to honor all victims of gun violence by turning our tragedy into a moment of transformation.
