Magnet Supports Art Students Learning About Mae Jemison 🚀🎨
Magnet proudly supports Mrs. Walton’s art students as they explore the life and legacy of Mae Jemison — the first African American woman to travel into space. Students learned about her historic journey aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, as well as her powerful impact on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Widely recognized for her inspiring words on imagination, self-belief, and perseverance, Mae Jemison’s quote, “Never be limited by other people’s limited imagination,” encouraged students to dream boldly and think beyond boundaries.
The artwork created by our talented students beautifully reflects her spirit — full of creativity, innovation, and limitless possibility. Their pieces highlight themes of space exploration, determination, and the power of believing in oneself.
We are so proud of our students for embracing this lesson with enthusiasm and expressing their learning through such meaningful and imaginative art! 🌟

Magnet Supports Watkins Community Project 🌷
Magnet proudly supports Suzanne Watkins and her class in a wonderful community partnership project! Students rolled up their sleeves and got hands-on planting tulips, preparing the soil, and learning about the plant life cycle and local ecosystems.
With guidance from Ms. Watkins, students explored how bulbs grow into beautiful blooms, connecting their learning to real-world environmental stewardship. Their creativity, teamwork, and enthusiasm were on full display as they transformed the space into a vibrant area the entire community can enjoy.
Through this meaningful project, students not only gained valuable knowledge about gardening and ecosystems, but also experienced the joy of giving back. A special thank you to Ms. Watkins for leading with such passion and inspiration—this project was truly a blooming success! 🌼🌱

Black History Parade a Success! 🎉
Magnet proudly supported the Black History Parade at Clinton Primary on February 25, 2026. Students dressed as influential Black leaders and historical figures, showcasing both creativity and deep respect for the individuals they represented.
We saw inspiring portrayals of leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and many more. Each student thoughtfully selected attire that reflected their chosen figure, and their innovation was truly on display. The parade was both educational and inspiring for all who attended.
A special thank you to Mr. Green, who led the parade and recited a portion of the iconic “I Have a Dream” speech by Martin Luther King Jr. His leadership added meaning and inspiration to an already powerful event.
We would also like to thank Chatorie Terrell for her creativity, support, and dedication in helping make the parade such a success.
Thank you to our teachers, parents, and students for making this celebration of Black history unforgettable!

🎓 Future Leaders in Action at Beryl Henry Elementary!
At Beryl Henry Elementary, students are being challenged in new and exciting ways — and recently, one student got a firsthand look at leadership through a special Principal for a Day experience!
She stepped into the role, learned what it truly takes to lead a campus, and discovered that the job involves even more responsibility and decision-making than she expected. The experience gave her a deeper appreciation for leadership and the work that happens behind the scenes every day.
Meanwhile, Mr. Jones gained fresh perspective as well, identifying a few blind spots and embracing the excitement that comes from seeing leadership through a student’s eyes.
Opportunities like this are what make Hope Public Schools special — giving students real-world experiences that build confidence, spark curiosity, and inspire the next generation of leaders.
💫 Hope Public Schools is rocking and rolling — building future leaders every day!

Students in Mrs. Vazquez’s and Mrs. Walton’s art classes have been learning about the lives and lasting impact of influential African American artists. 🎨🎶
They explored how Nina Simone used music as a powerful form of artistic expression and activism during the Civil Rights Movement. By blending jazz, classical, and gospel styles, she inspired change and used her voice to stand up for justice.
Students also studied Alma Thomas, a groundbreaking visual artist known for her vibrant, colorful abstract paintings that celebrated beauty, nature, and creativity. Her bold use of color and pattern showed students how art can express joy and individuality.
Through learning about these remarkable artists, students gained a deeper understanding of how art reflects culture, history, and personal voice — and how creativity can make a lasting impact on society. 🌟🖌️
