Dear Hope Families,

We all enjoyed our Hope Thanksgiving Feast, thanks to Focus Foods, Spice Diner, and a team of volunteers led by Diana Ramirez. We hope that each of you had a special holiday with friends and family.

Time to start shopping! If you are planning to shop online, please remember to use our portal (www.marketamerica.com/shopwithhope) to access hundreds of stores. If enough of you shop through this account, we should be able to fund a new scholarship next year.

If you are looking for stocking stuffers for $10, please consider our new “Hope” magnets, “Hope” label coffee, and Michael Sachs’ note cards (8 per pack/4 original designs), and “Hope” t-shirts for sale through the school office. To purchase, please contact Elaine Van Hook.

The temperature in the school tends to fluctuate, so please dress your student in layers to help them stay comfortable during the day. We also continue to do outdoor recess, so make sure your child has a warm coat and anything else he/she needs to stay warm outside.

Our classes are already preparing for our Holiday Program, which will be on Thursday, December 16, at 7:00 p.m. We have a professional videographer at the program and sell DVD’s for $10, so plan to come and enjoy without stress!

We will be out of school from December 20 to December 31. Priority registration for returning students will begin in January.

Have a great week!
Lisa & Susan
