The Good Hope School

Parents

As one of the fundamental beliefs of The Good Hope School, we believe that it is in the best interest of each student if parents work in partnership with the School. Many parents volunteer their time and talents for school activities and events.

Parents' Organization

The Parents' Organization (PO) plays an integral role in the life of the Good Hope community by providing communication among the parents, faculty, staff, and administration, and by supporting the school. Regular meetings are scheduled at convenient times for working parents.

Thank you to all the Parents who contributed so generously to our
Faculty Appreciation Brunch!
There were lots of treats and happy faculty.

We are grateful to our Faculty and Staff for their commitment to our children.
We are grateful to you for supporting the Parents' Organization another year!
Looking forward to a restful summer and a specatcular 2010/2011 school year in the Fall!

Contractor’s Day
Contractor’s Day is a day when volunteers (parents, faculty, and friends) come to the school and tackle projects under the guidance of Contractors, who donate their expertise. In the past we have renovated the back of the art/clay rooms into the patio area, gave a face-lift to the after care room and poolside locker rooms, and painted playground equipment. We end the day with a swim and BBQ.

See more pictures from our previous Contractor's Day! Thank you all families who came out for Contractor's Day! It was a very productive day; trees and shrubs were planted around the lower school playground ( special thanks to Cruzan Gardens ) and a shelf was built in the band room for storage of steel pans and other instruments. Thanks to Lisa Borden for once again heading-up the day!

Faculty Appreciation Brunch
Say a big “Thank You” to our wonderful faculty and staff! The Parents' Organization has brunch made up of different dishes prepared by parents in the faculty lounge. We hope that everyone will be willing to prepare their favorite dish to share! (second Wednesday of every other month)

Family Fun Day
The Parents' Organization organizes a fun packed carnival day on campus for all The Good Hope School families and friends. Games, activities, rides, and refreshments make this a fun day for everyone!
