We will meet right after morning drop-off at the “Connection Room” beside the Chapel to assemble the wristbands, and prepare all necessary materials for the upcoming Fall KM Club. This will take approximately 2h, and your help will be invaluable in enabling this popular program.

Fruit Program
- Thanks to a Feeding Futures grant from the BC government, we are able to offer a daily selection of Fruits and Vegetables for Grab and Go at each of the campus offices. Kids are delighting in stopping on a regular basis to pick up an apple, banana or maybe even a strawberry!
- We could use some adult volunteers to help manage this program. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact Emily Reilly, at . Many hands will make light work!
Cone Set Up Needed at Elementary Campus
- We are looking for an individual or a few to help with setting up cones in the morning before 8:30 AM. This typically takes 15 minutes and would be ideal for those parents who need volunteer hours and need to drop off at before school care. Any parent(s) are welcome to help with this task and it would be greatly appreciated. There will be a training set up to know where to place cones and signs. Please contact Jennifer Watson if you are interested.

Stories of Impact
Did being at Hope during the 2025-26 school year impact your family? Stories of impact are important pieces to share as they edify our community and build up the body of Christ.
God has given each of us a story. You may not think it’s very dramatic but every story can be used to connect with someone else. Share your story of the impact you’ve received from being at Hope. It could be any number of ways:
- Being supported during an unexpected circumstance or crisis
- Seeing positive character develop in your child
- Coming into a personal relationship with Jesus as a result the gospel message heard at Hope Lutheran Christian School
- Transitioning from a place of stagnation to a place of flourishing
You never know how your story could impact the life of another. Email and your story could be a feature page in our Annual Report.
