The Zane Trace High School Hope Squad's theme for the month of September is hope. Our Hope Squad has posted bubbles all over our school. These bubbles of hope can be found in our stairwell and on classroom doors. Each bubble contains a positive message. The Hope Squad has also set up a table at lunch for students to write their worries down on a bubble and then put them in the shredder. Did you know students are nominated by their peers to be in the Hope Squad. If selected and a student is willing to be in the squad, each student is put in a credited class together that has a curriculum provided by the Hope Squad Suicide Prevention Program. Keep spreading hope, Hope Squad!
