Our new Character Counts Pillar for this six weeks is CARING. A caring person feels responsible for others, and his environment. A person of caring displays compassion and concern for the world around him. Everyday we see students at Good Hope caring about each other, their school and community.

Starting today, we will be looking for students who come to school every day. At the end of the six weeks, everyone who has perfect attendance will have their name placed in a box. One sixth grade name, one seventh grade name, and one eighth grade name will be drawn to win a super prize. Remember all you have to do to win is come to school!!!
