In this article, "Making Ripples - How Principals and Teachers Can Spread Hope Throughout Our Schools," it talks about how each one of us can affect the lives of many, for good or bad and how if we can inspire hope in students they will be more successful in school and in life! We are definitely giving hope to our students, their families, and each other!
