The final month of school for the 2020-2021 school year has come for HOPE Academy. We invited students, staff and faculty to join us for a fun week of dressing up fueled by fun (and prizes)!
Winners were chosen on originality, difficulty of costume, and thoughtfulness. Originally we had expected to award one student and one teacher/staff winner, however you came to win, and there were so many great costumes!
It was incredibly difficult to select one person per category each day, so we decided to open up our winner pool. Winners were chosen in the following cateogries: Elementary Student, Middle School Student, High School Student, Elementary Teacher/Staff & Upper School Teacher/Staff. Each winner will be contacted and allowed to choose their prize from an incredible selection.
This Spirit Week’s theme was #hashtags and with our unique University-Model® and being in school three days a week we chose three different Spirit Days that went along with our main theme.
Monday – #motivationalmonday
Participants were given the prompt to choose someone who inspires them. We saw a lot of great costumes including athletes, teachers, movie and book characters and more!
