What a great summer we’ve had at Fort Bend Hope. I believe that our summer camp was one to remember. I know that our kids had a blast as much as we did. Now, as we get closer to the start of our Fall semester, I think of how fulfilling it is to work in a nonprofit that loves people and loves to give.

Last year’s camp was a great experience. This one, was even better. Like last year, we had a focus on reading every day to keep kids reading throughout the summer, so they don’t fall backwards academically.

Dynamite comes in small packages. From tiny acorns, mighty oaks grow. Can’t start a fire without a spark. There are a lot of sayings about how big things start small. I was thinking about that this week as I was reflecting on the history of Fort Bend Hope.

Happy New Year! It’s not too late to say that is it? The start of a new year gives a chance for a new beginning. At Fort Bend Hope, we believe we are in the business of new beginnings.

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and had some time to reflect on the people and moments over the past year which you are thankful for. For Fort Bend Hope, it is a year in which God has truly blessed us.

The past few months have been some of the busiest and most exciting that Fort Bend Hope has ever known, and this is a very good thing!

Some days give you an opportunity to look around and appreciate how much the dedication of everyone involved with Fort Bend Hope comes together to make a true lighthouse for the community.

This fall marks a new beginning that we have looked forward to at Fort Bend Hope for a while. For the first time, we are offering a GED. Also, for the first time, we are having adult education in the morning.

Summer Slam was an amazing experience, but we are excited to get back into the groove of another school year. It’s going to be a fun year at our after-school program as we introduce seven new extracurricular clubs!

Music week was musical, loud, crazy and fun. It’s also a week where we introduced our Music club with Justin Barber leading it. The kids got to see how the Fall is going to look with learning to play a keyboard.
