Parent Dessert Evening
As Hope’s Community Relations Officer (Lisa Klym) and Development Director (John Lok), we often wish for opportunities to really connect and have deeper conversations with those in our school community. After a successful trial last year, we are going to continue to engage our parent stakeholders to really connect, listen, and share information through our regular casual Parent Dessert Evenings. Hosted by Lisa Klym and John Lok with a small group, this is an informal evening to unwind, meet other parents, give feedback about school, learn more about Hope, and enjoy dessert with good company. The upcoming date is listed in THIS SIGN UP with limited sign up spots. The meetings usually start at 7:00 pm and finish no later than 8:30 pm. Location will be emailed out to attendees. We look forward to seeing you.

Equipping Parents Seminar #2
Parents, we have a really great speaker scheduled on Monday, November 18th at 7:00 pm to share with you a very relevant topic but we need at least 10 people attending in-person to make it worth their while – We need 8 more parents to attend in person. If this seminar interests you, don’t delay in registering. Deadline to register is this Thursday at 9:00 pm.
Our speaker from Ally Global will introduce The Prevention Project, an engaging, online platform offering free, age-appropriate resources designed to help youth understand the dangers of exploitation. You’ll gain insights into the risks children face online and in everyday life, as well as practical tools to help you recognize warning signs and start crucial conversations at home.
Whether you’re attending in person or via livestream, this session will equip you with the knowledge and strategies needed to engage in these important conversations with your kids. From setting boundaries to recognizing red flags to promoting safe online habits, this seminar is a must for parents who want to create safer, more informed environments for their children.
We look forward to seeing you there! Please register your attendance here or visit our website at school.hopelcs.ca/connect/events. Invite your friends, these seminars are open to anyone.
