First Post and Our First Meetings

The H.O.P.E. Crew founders have been busy putting together our inaguaral meeting and putting together our theme for the month of October: Community - specifically our TPA school community.

Our first meeting is set for Monday, October 3 from 3:00-4:00 PM. We are still trying to pin down a room, so please check with H.O.P.E. Crew members on Monday to find out where we will be meeting this first go-around.

While we may be changing our meeting day to accommodate more people's schedules, October meetings will continue to be on Mondays.

Typically, each month will center around a theme (November's will center around Gratitude). Each week we will focus on the theme through a different venue. The first week of the month will be center around inspiration (an activity, a speaker, a reading); the second week will be discussion-based. We will do some kind of service work in the third week, while the fourth and final week of the month will be geared towards something multi-cultural.

Here is the schedule for October (COMMUNITY):

Monday, October 3: Inspiration - What inspires you about our school? What do you aspire for our school or aspire to do as a member of the TPA community?

Monday, October 24: Service Work - Red Ribbon Week: No Use of Illegal Drugs: kicking off a week of awareness at our school!

Monday, October 31: Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Learn the history and meaning of this holiday and celebrate with food and art

Come be part of the solution! All positive and respectful minds and bodies are welcome.

Hope to see you at one, two, or all three October meetings!
