Hope Elementary started a new tradition this year! Each Monday morning, they come together to start the week off on a positive note while building community and school spirit. Student Council Representatives take the lead on morning announcements and the pledge of allegiance, and they review school rules/policies, learn about a special social emotional topics, and celebrate Husky Hoorays and other student awards!
