Welcome to December! We hope you could enjoy a gratitude-filled Thanksgiving with your family to end the month of November. Now, if you hadn’t noticed, we are fully into the holiday season. Let us look beyond the whistles and bells that often dominate the season and pray for the peace that Christmas promises. May it be realized in this season and into the coming year.

We wish to thank all of you who so generously donated various food items during our annual Food Drive in November. The Tuesday before Thanksgiving two of our 7th grade students packed up these items and we delivered them to St. Peter’s Haven Food Pantry to be used to help needy families in the Clifton area.

We wish to thank all the parents who gave to our October clothing drive. A record 15 bags of clothes were donated to the recycling center at City Hall for distribution to needy families. As well, we thank the many parents who came out in support of our annual Harvest Festival on October 31 (see picture). You helped to make it a great event for all of our students.

In November we will be holding our 7th annual Read-a-Thon, our fall fundraiser which also doubles as an encouragement to our students to read more. Each student will be asked to read at least 5 books during the month and we ask parents, related family, and friends to sponsor them in this task. Each child will be given a separate web page to which sponsors can indicate their pledges of support. Our overall goal for the fundraiser is $5,000 as a school. We will appreciate any support you can offer which will be counted towards the $200 we ask each family to donate to the school during the course of the school year. Look for an e-mail on it this week.

We wish to thank everyone who attended our Back-to-School Night last Monday. Sixty percent of our families were represented. As we negotiate the challenges facing us this fall, more than ever we seek close communication with you, our students’ parents. We invite you to be part of New Hope’s Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) whose first meeting will be near the end of this month. In addition, thank you for volunteering to help us in some of our school’s activities. We will be in touch with you about these.

 

In the spirit of communication, and as one of our action steps in seeking re-accreditation this year, tomorrow we will be sending you a link to an online survey through Survey Monkey. As we engage in the process of relocation, we are looking ahead to finding a more permanent facility long term and would welcome your input as we do so.
