Palos South Students Spell Out "Hello!" For Inclusion Week
Students gathered on the school field last week to greet the world with a giant "hello" as part of a week designed to promote inclusion.

The unusual event capped off the school’s weeklong celebration of Start with Hello Week, a national initiative from Sandy Hook Promise’s Know the Signs program that aims to start the year off right by promoting inclusivity and friendliness at the start of each school year.
