📦 Stuff the Bus Food Drive Update

Thank you for the incredible community support for our Stuff the Bus Food Drive. Because of your generosity, we were able to provide essential food boxes to more than 125 Hope Public Schools families this holiday season.

Due to inclement weather, the district’s planned distribution event has been canceled. However, all donated food has been delivered to Hope In Action, where it will continue to be distributed directly to families in need throughout our community.

We are deeply grateful to our staff, students, families, volunteers, and community partners who gave their time, resources, and support to make this effort possible. Every donation and every helping hand matters, and we are confident these contributions will reach the families who need them most.

This effort is a powerful reminder of what can happen when our community comes together. Hope Public Schools is proud to support Hope families and stand alongside our partners — not just during the holidays, but all year long.

📦 Actualización sobre la campaña Stuff the Bus Food Drive

Gracias por el increíble apoyo de la comunidad a nuestra campaña Stuff the Bus Food Drive. Gracias a su generosidad, hemos podido proporcionar cajas con alimentos básicos a más de 125 familias de las escuelas públicas de Hope durante estas fiestas.

Debido al mal tiempo, se ha cancelado el evento de distribución previsto por el distrito. Sin embargo, todos los alimentos donados se han entregado a Hope In Action, donde se seguirán distribuyendo directamente a las familias necesitadas de nuestra comunidad.

Estamos profundamente agradecidos a nuestro personal, alumnos, familias, voluntarios y socios comunitarios que han dedicado su tiempo, recursos y apoyo para hacer posible esta iniciativa. Cada donación y cada mano amiga son importantes, y estamos seguros de que estas contribuciones llegarán a las familias que más las necesitan.

Esta iniciativa es un poderoso recordatorio de lo que se puede lograr cuando nuestra comunidad se une. Las Escuelas Públicas de Hope se enorgullecen de apoyar a las familias de Hope y de estar al lado de nuestros socios, no solo durante las fiestas, sino durante todo el año.

Our seventh grade band students from Yerger had a great time on their field trip to the Perot Theater. They watched Back to the Future with a full live orchestra, and it was an amazing experience. It gave our students the chance to see music in action at a professional level and opened their eyes to possible future careers in the world of music.

Yerger EAST students had a pop in visit from a few encouraging staff members as preparations are being made for Yerger's participation in Hope's Annual Christmas parade. The students collaborated in each of the six EAST classes to come up with an overall design to represent this year's theme, "A Holly Jolly Game Night". There is a lot of hard work, dedication, hands on learning, and student engagement going into to this float. If anyone has any donations of slightly used Christmas decorations, crafting supplies, or parade candy that could possibly benefit Yerger's float, please feel free to reach out to the YMS EAST program. Some of the best support could be showing up for the parade or even dropping a kind word for our students in the comments. The Chamber of Commerce hosted community Christmas parade will be held downtown December 1st. Hope to see you there!

Through the process, they were determined and diligent to succeed. Succeed...indeed they did. Congratulations Naomi and Jonathan....job well done!!
