"The Three Questions" based on a story by Leo Tolstoy

As we look back at 2007 and ahead to 2008, please remember the story "The Three Questions" that we read in reading class the week before Christmas. The main character in the story, Nikolai, is uncertain about the right way to act, he says "I want to be a good person, but I don't always know the best way to do that." He wants to find the answers to his three questions:

1. When is the best time to do things?
2. Who is the most important one?
3. What is the right thing to do?

Through his travels he does find the answers to his questions:

"Remember then that there is only one important time, and that time is now. The most important one is always the one you are with. And the most important thing is to do good for the one who is standing at your side."

Thank you Club Hope members for all the good things you have done this year for yourself, your families, your school, your community, and the world. We have an exciting year ahead of us when we get back to school in 2008. Rest up, enjoy the rest of your vacation, and come back to school ready to "make the world better, one day at a time!"

Love, Mrs. S.

Delivery Day at the OKC Rescue Mission!

Thanks to Madison, Hannah, Jordan, Justin, , Tanner, Spencer, Brett, Bryson (and Bryson's little brother, Brock) and parents who helped take all the drinks and snacks to the Rescue Mission. They represented all the members of Club HOPE who worked so hard to "make the world better, one day at a time". The people at the Rescue Mission were very thankful and told us that they had just run out of things for the children there, so what we brought was an answer to a prayer. Lindsey took us around and explained the work of the Mission. We figured out that what we brought today should keep the children there in drinks and snacks for the next 6 weeks! THANK YOU Club HOPE members!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Club Hope Collections for OKC City Rescue Mission!!

Club Hope Members Reach Their Goal!!!

This quote by Margaret Mead says it all. Several weeks ago, the boys and girls of Club Hope decided to collect juice drinks and kid-friendly snacks for the children who live at the Oklahoma City Rescue Mission. The choice suggested was to get EITHER 1200 juice drinks or 1200 snacks. The club members voted to get both. This was a HUGE challenge, but the kids felt up to the task. On the first Monday of December when all donations had been counted - we discovered that we had met and surpassed our goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
