The Big Chair

Although Principal Leslie Sharp has a busy daily schedule with her administrative duties at Julia C. Frazier Elementary School in Dallas Texas, she still enjoys reading to students sitting in what the students call "The Big Chair". Occasionally, Mrs. Sharp will ask her teachers to recommend students that are commended for academic or  good behavior to send them to the hallway so she can have a special reading time for them.  The students of Services of Hope's Social Responsiblity Training Program (SRT), pictured here, have been recognized for demonstrating leadership in the school.

Shined as Stars

The students of Hampton Preparatory "Shined as Stars" last night as they celebrated their completion of the Services of Hope sponsored Leadership and Student Responsibility Training Program. From the opening of the ceremony, each student of the program had the opportunity to participate and demostrate what they learned from the responsibility training sessions. Several students were participants in the progarm, beginning with the Greeting by Amariah Williams, 7th grade, and Invocation given by William Jackson, III, 7th grade.
Three students gave their "Testimonies", these students were; Branna Scott, 8th grade,Crystal Enriguez, 7th grade and Taylor Davis, 8th grade. Taylor gave a dynamic testimony that brought the crowd to their feet.

The presentation of certificates and special awards were presented by; Mrs. Pat Smith, wife of Emmitt Smith of the "Pat and Emmitt Smith Charities" who fund Services of Hope's program. Special presentation by: Shuggarbear Creations and closing remarks given by Mr. Mack Criddell, SOH Board Member. Every student was given gifts from Services of Hope and "Powercards" from Dave and Buster's. The students had a great time in the game area.

The entire event was truly a night to be remembered.
