Theme:  The theme of hope is a good way to start the school year.  When we begin something new there is sometimes fear or nervousness that we will not be able to achieve what is expected of us.  Always try and not fear new ideas, embrace them in your own special way, and achieve your goals through hope.
C- Project Connection: Theological virtue :Hope
Meaning: If you have hope you can do anything.  Put your hope in God. Psalm 42:11.
