Celebrate Hope demonstrates that every student can learn well

Hands-on sessions offer insights into unique educational model for children who learn differently

On Friday, February 17, Hope Hall School is holding a special event, open to parents of current and prospective students, and members of the community in order to share a hands-on experience of the unique educational model used to drive learning success at Hope Hall School.

The school will present two sessions, one from 9 to 11 a.m. and another from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Sessions are broken up into 20-minute, hands-on blocks, where visitors can choose between a variety of activities at the elementary, middle or high school level to experience the multi-sensory way students learn actual curriculum. A few of the topics being offered include “Twisted Math,” “Blackout Poetry,” “Gamifying History” where “settlers” try to select the best location for a colonial settlement, “Wild about ASL,” and “A Candy Affair,” using M&Ms to teach budgeting.

“This is the first time we’re presenting an interactive open house,” explained Sister Diana Dolce, SSJ, Founder and Executive Director of Hope Hall School. “This new hands-on initiative will give parents and guardians of current and prospective students a better understanding of the multi-sensory model we use that works so well for our students. We are also inviting members of the community, pediatricians, and pediatric mental health providers because many people know students who are at academic risk, and who could benefit from our model of education.”

The event is free and open to the community. Those interested in attending are asked to pre-register, as spots are limited. For more information on Celebrate Hope, and to register, visit https://tinyurl.com/CelebrateHopeOpenHouse. Hope Hall is located at 1612 Buffalo Road in Gates.
