Spark Spirit Week
Council for Youth Development Bartholomew County hosted Spark Spirit Week and Hope Elementary participated. A spark is the hidden flame inside every person that taps into their true passions, talents, skills, and dreams. Research from the Search Institute shows that when young people know their sparks and have adult support in nurturing them, they are more likely to have a sense of purpose, to be socially competent, physically healthy, and to do better in school. Students learned about sparks and shared their own sparks on this bulletin board. The writing beneath all those post-it notes reads, "What's Your Spark?"
