Dear Editor: I think the ‘Start with Hello’ program (“Our Lady of Grace is some ‘kind’ of school,” Sept. 14) is spot on and I know other Catholic schools are implementing similar programs.

As Catholics and human beings we should be kind to each other and sympathetic. My question is, When did we stop being kind? It seems through the years, our compassion toward others has disappeared. Many would blame President Trump but it goes way before him. Let’s hope this new initiative in our schools brings back some humanity.
