• Hope Squad

Students of the Hope Squad shared a presentation with information about the mission, demographics, Multi-Tiered System of Supports, events during the year, what squad members learned, plans for next year, and a short video of Unity Day 2024/2025.

Some of the money for this program will not be available next year due to changes in funding, so there is a need for grants to cover the costs of curriculum next year.  Nesha and Derek are trained advisors for the district.

The students said that with the Hope Squad program there is more involvement in the club and more students are reaching out to the members. The members get trained on how to watch out for potentially dangerous social media posts and when and how to contact an adult immediately if a student may be in danger.
