Day of Hope

Green Valley HS is excited to be a HOPE Squad School!

HOPE Squad is a group of students who are nominated by themselves or peers who work closely with the SEL school counselor. They are trained on how to look for warning signs in their peers and provide support by being a listening ear. The goal is to try to talk their peers into speaking with a trusted adult. The program reduces youth suicide through education, training, and peer intervention.

This Thursday, 2/29/24, is a district-wide Day of Hope. Day of Hope presents a valuable opportunity for our Hope Squads to unite and make a meaningful impact. We aim to raise awareness about mental health challenges and spread positivity throughout our schools and beyond.

Here are the key details for Day of Hope:

Date: February 29th
Activity: Wear Blue to School and Tie Purple Ribbons

• We are kindly asking and encouraging all staff and students to wear blue to school on February 29th to show solidarity and support for mental health awareness.
• Hope Squad members will tie purple ribbons on participants.
• Please visit our booth at both lunches for giveaways. 
• If teachers and club advisors will please be so kind and inform students to wear blue and to visit our booth during the lunches. 

Culmination: Mayoral Proclamation at Henderson City Hall
The Day of Hope will culminate with a Mayoral Proclamation at Henderson City Hall at 3:00 PM. This proclamation will recognize our collective efforts and commitment to mental health awareness. We will also be there to represent GVHS:)
