Flapjack 5K - SUPER FUN Fundraiser!

On Saturday, October 19th, we held our 2nd Annual Flapjack 5K Fun Run or Walk Fundraiser to help support our springtime Hope School Jogging Club.  Funds raised help purchase the Jogging Club shirts given to students who run 30 or more miles during the Jogging Club 6-week event.  The run was held at Sam Owen State Park and the yummy breakfast of Flapjacks - regular and Pumpkin pancakes ended the event at Hope School.  The rain came and families still ran!  

A little rain never stopped a Hope School Wildcat!!!!

Dictionary Deliveries to Hope School 3rd Graders

Annually the Elks Lodge members provide personal dictionaries for every 3rd grader.  

Building a richer vocabulary for all our students is one of the things we are focusing on in every grade at Hope School.  These dictionaries will be very helpful to the 3rd Graders.   

Thank you very much!  

The CATwalk.....Walk AT school instead of Walk TO School

Hope Elementary students participate in Walk TO School day by Walking AT School.  

Since we are rural and don't have sidewalks coming up to our school, we believe it's just safer to celebrate walking at school.  

We call it the 'catwalk'.

See below for some students and staff who dressed as Twins/Triplets for the Catwalk. 

Kindergarten Autumn Field Trip

Kindergarten Fall Field Trip 

Thursday, October 10, 2019

 A note from Mrs. Shelton, Kindergarten Teacher:  As we begin our study of the amazing seasons, we will be making deeper connections to harvest and farming. To enrich this learning, our class visited a local farm and orchard on Thursday, October 10th.  The farm was Mountain Cloud Farm (on Spring Creek Rd. in Clark Fork). After we explored the harvest on the farm, we loaded back on the bus and drove to a local apple orchard (on Lightning Creek Rd.) to eat our picnic lunch and pick apples. We then took a nature walk to explore how animals and plants are preparing for the next season.  Below are several pictures of the fantastic Fall season!  

Looks like a great day to be outside in the sunshine!  

Thank you Mrs. Shelton for connecting learning inside the classroom our big, beautiful world outside the classroom!!!
