Dear Hope Families,

Thanks to Rachel Van Hook, Matthew Keech, Andrea Gaynor, Cole Jones, Laura Boyette, and Jacob Bettano for speaking at Advent’s services yesterday. They all did a wonderful job representing our school.

The rain kept A1 and A2 from their farm field trip, but they looked mighty cute in their red Hope shirts this morning! Academy 4 (Ms. Marydell) will be going to the Children’s Museum tomorrow.

Wednesday, plan for school fall pictures. The background is a lovely fall setting. Colors are browns, oranges and reds.  We will have individual as well as class pictures.  If you are interested in having siblings photographed together, please let us know.  We can also have you bring siblings not at Hope Academy to join the pictures, please let us know and we will schedule for it. It will be during the school day on Wednesday.

Make plans to attend HopeFest on Saturday from 10-2. We will have all kinds of games, activities, food, and fun! If you want to purchase a homemade apple pie, you can reserve it at: http://www.advent-umc.org/others/informed/news/article/Advents_Hopefest_Apple_Pies/
You can preorder your tickets for $6 through the Hope Academy office. Don’t miss this chance to enjoy time together with the Hope Academy and Advent families.

Want to develop camaraderie in a group? Want to stretch your running experience? Want to sponsor a college or high school team? We still have room for teams of runners for the HOPE Relay on Saturday, November 13. Go to www.projecthopesc.org/hope-relay for more information.
