Bethlehem Walk – Costume Organization
We are looking for parents who have experience or enjoy working with costumes, sewing, mending, or costume organization to help us prepare for this year’s Bethlehem Walk. We would love to have a few volunteers who can help us go through our existing costumes, see what we have, identify what we still need, and make any necessary repairs.
We would like to get started soon, so if you have some time and would enjoy helping with this, Mrs. Kristin Le Ross ().

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!
Remembrance Day Poppies
The Port Coquitlam Legion has provided poppies for all Hope students. We ask that students consider donating a loonie or toonie to the Legion for the poppies, in support of our veterans. Poppy donations will be collected in the classrooms.
Hope Lutheran Fundraiser
Calling all Hope Lutheran families!
Each February, students from our middle school attend the Lutheran Elementary School Tournament (L.E.S.T.) Northwest taking place in Tacoma, Washington. This event gives our students a wonderful opportunity to travel, build community, and compete against other Lutheran school students from across Western Canada and the United States in over 25 events—from cubing and basketball to piano and cheerleading.
This fundraiser is open to our entire school community! You can help lower trip costs for our middle school families simply by purchasing gift cards for your everyday shopping and holiday gifts.
SEE HERE for additional information and how to order!

NOTE: If your student(s) were already a part of Chess Club last school year, you do not need to sign them up again. Account logins will carry over to this year.
Mr. Payan is continuing the online Chess Club following the success of the previous years. We will be using “ChessKid” (www.chesskid.com) as our online platform. We are aiming to start our online weekly games on November 10th (Tuesday).
The weekly seasonal games are for Hope LCS students in Grades 2-8 and will occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 3:45 PM – 4:45 PM on ChessKid (online). Students are encouraged to join these tournaments from home to improve their chess skills. Students that sign up will have access to lessons, puzzles, or practice anytime with their account.
Middle School Minecraft Club
Ms.Chu will be hosting Minecraft Club, an opportunity for students to connect, collaborate, and have fun playing Minecraft with their fellow Hope students! The club allows students to play Minecraft from the comfort of their own homes during after-school hours using a secure, private server set up exclusively for Hope students. This is a great way for students to enjoy a shared gaming experience while building friendships, working together, and exploring their creativity in a safe online environment.
Students who are interested in participating must have both forms completed before joining the club:
- Parent Permission Form: https://forms.gle/PEDgtwATFdZH7t3T6
- Student Play Contract: https://forms.gle/q2Ym8XaukjvSpW6U9
