HII GUYS!

It’s finally summer meaning it’s the end of the school year!! With most of the stress gone (well except for those with regents. I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK), it would be great if everyone could help us to make H.O.P.E. a better club by filling out this short survey:

We were recently informed by the people in charge of yearbook distribution that there is a huge influx of volunteers. Therefore, we have decided that H.O.P.E. will no longer be participating in the this event anymore! This event is cancelled for H.O.P.E. members!

But on the bright side, you may now enjoy your day off!!

Have fun tomorrow!!

Hello everyone!

We will be having our final meeting of the year this Friday, June 2nd after 10th period in the SOUTHWEST section of the cafeteria. This meeting is MANDATORY and will be worth 20 points. Failure to attend this meeting will result in a 15 point deduction. Please make sure to SWIPE IN!!

NOTE: We understand that meetings usually take place on a Thursday, in the auditorium but due to instrumental concert rehearsal, the date and location has been moved. (Sorry guys~)

If you are unable to attend this meeting, you must email us at bthshope@gmail.com with the subject titled, “Request for Excusal” and your name, OSIS, and the reason why you are unable to attend in the context. If your reason gets approved, you will not receive any point deductions.

We will be distributing community service hours AND introducing a group of very very very interesting people ;). You’ll get to meet them on Friday :)

See you soon~~
