You can’t have a party without party hats, balloons, gifts, good food, and music, and we had all of it! 🎉👑🎁🎈

We kicked off this year’s Parent Partnership Party with Maple Street Biscuit, party crowns, goodie bags, and fun music that got us ready to celebrate. Before long, and in true HOPE fashion, our celebration became something much deeper.

This year’s party was an invitation to find our Hallelujah, in the big moments, the ordinary ones, and even the messy ones. We spent the morning remembering that worship isn’t just the songs we sing. Worship is how we live.

We heard from the McAteers, the Keens, HOPE administrators and leadership, and parents who shared their own reflections on thoughtful questions. We paused to consider the crowns God has placed on each of us as His sons and daughters, and how we can learn to see those crowns in one another, and each others children too.

Then came the masterpieces! Inspired by the handiwork of Michelangelo, “God will see”, we got our hands messy creating works of worship with clay, creating, reflecting, laughing and making memories together (with a small competiton thrown in for extra participation).

And of course…we worshiped. Led by Henry Roe, we lifted our voices together and ended the morning in prayer how we often have, this time with a larger group: 250+ HOPE parents circling the room, lifting our voices in Hallelujah to our Heavenly Father.

Yes, sometimes worship looks like a song.
Sometimes it looks like prayer.
Sometimes it looks like serving.
Sometimes it looks like clay-covered hands, cleaning up breakfast with crying kiddos, going to work in an office, or simply stopping long enough to notice the small stuff.

And certainly at HOPE our Hallelujah is found right in the middle of raising our kids, realizing we don’t have to do it alone.

We’re so thankful for our HOPE parents, for the memories made, the voices shared, and the community God is growing here rooted in Him.

Here’s to seeing the good, celebrating the ordinary, and finding our Hallelujah every day.

GOD IS ON THE MOVE MONDAY 🙌

Week 2 is underway, and there is so much to celebrate at HOPE Academy! 🧡💙

A walk through our Elementary School today offered glimpses of God at work, in teachers who know and love their students well, classrooms full of curiosity and joy, and students settling into the rhythms of learning, friendship, and community.

We’re incredibly thankful for our faculty and the way they create spaces where students are known, encouraged, challenged, and pointed toward Christ each day.

We’re loving Week 2, and we can’t wait to keep sharing the ways God is on the move at HOPE!

Two weeks of preparing, creating, learning, laughing, serving, and worshiping together. 🧡💙

Before our students fill the halls, our amazing faculty and staff have spent these last two weeks preparing not only our classrooms, but our hearts for the year ahead.

We line danced and laughed together. We worked with clay and were reminded of the beauty of being shaped by the hands of our Creator. We explored what it means to see our work as worship, that the everyday work before us can be an offering to the Lord.

We completed safety and CPR training, set up classrooms, packed welcome bags, prepared spaces, prayed, planned, collaborated, and welcomed families back to campus for trainings and the rainiest, stormiest Back to School Night in HOPE’s history and we had a blast!

And through it all, one word has continued to rise:

HALLELUJAH!

Praise the Lord! In the big moments and the ordinary ones. In the classrooms and hallways. In teaching and serving. In preparing and welcoming. In all of the work He has given us to do.

We are grateful for this team, grateful for this community, and expectant for all God will do in the 2026-2027 school year.

We can’t wait for next Tuesday!!🧡💙

One of the sweetest parts of being a K–12 school is that our students don’t just grow up beside each other… they grow with each other, having impact in one another’s lives.

On one campus, our youngest students are being encouraged, prayed over, high-fived, mentored, and loved by students who were once in their very same shoes. Our elementary students look up to middle and high school students who model leadership, worship, kindness, creativity, and what it means to follow Christ. And in return, our older students learn that leadership is not about status, it’s about serving and pouring into others.

It’s official, our seniors have graduated, are now HOPE Academy Royals Alumni and have passed the crown to the students in lower grades.

As they placed their graduation caps on our kindergarteners, it was a reminder that legacy is not just what you accomplish. It’s who you influence along the way.

At HOPE Academy, it has never been only about one class, one grade, or one season. It is about everyone growing together. It’s about older students leading younger ones. Younger students reminding older ones of joy and wonder. A place where we do life together; learning, worshipping, serving, and becoming…
TOGETHER, as an Authentic Community.

Class of 2026, thank you for the legacy you leave behind. Thank you for showing our younger Royals what it looks like to lead with faith, character, humility, and love.

Thank you for passing the crown. 👑 🧡💙
