Dear Parents and Families,
The power of hope is stronger than anyone can imagine. With hope you can do anything, without hope you cannot. Hope is everything! We are very proud to be a KIDS AT HOPE SCHOOL. Every day we strive to teach our students about the power of hope and give each and every one of them hope for their future. Our school vision statement provides a view of what we believe "All kids are capable of success, no exceptions." Consider the power within this statement. No Exceptions is hard work, but our staff works hard to make sure your child has the power of hope to climb to reach their goals and dreams every day, no exceptions.
