"Caring, passionate and giving are a few of the many special qualities Hope exemplifies. Her willingness to go above and beyond for students is evident in the many projects she has undertaken. She is the co-founder of Shoreland's "A Safe Place to Land" after-school program. This program allows students, across multiple grade levels, the opportunity to partake in new experiences, form friendships and have fun. Whether it's creating school spirit days, potluck luncheons or secret spirit activities, Hope finds ways for staff to have fun at school. Thanks for bringing JOY to so many."
