Thank you to all the parents who assisted in making our open house celebration a success.

We’ve learned from our admissions interviews that an overwhelming majority of our applicants come to our school because of word-of-mouth recommendations from our school community.  We are thankful that you are our best advertisers.

Do you know of a family ready to explore education options for their child?  Do you have friends or family looking for a school that offers more than just an academic education, one that you can call home?

Please forward this digital information card and encourage them to check out The Hope Difference.

Friendship is tricky – can you relate? Most people I know value their friends, however, they are often hard to come by. As an elementary school teacher, I’ve witnessed this time and time again with students. They want to make a new friend but struggle to know what to do and say. “Leroy the Raccoon” is a book that teaches children that this process doesn’t have to be so tricky. You can actually get to know someone relatively quickly by asking specific questions and listening well. It is my hope that this book helps children when interacting with their peers and also encourages them to look out for someone who is lonely and may need a friend.
