Hope Academy

HOPE Academy chose “Walking in Memphis”  as their theme for this year’s ThinkShow.  Mrs. Cumming’s English classes created glogsters, poems, posters, and drawings with the same theme.  Ms. Lewis’s math classes created 3-D posters that graphed the population of Memphis over several decades. Ms. Bonds’ students selected and researched using the Internet things about Memphis that they enjoyed most; they creatively displayed various “Hot Spots” of this great city as small posters using word applications.

The teens were very proud of their finished products and glad to see the efforts of their work displayed for others to view and judge. Throughout the Think Show, over 40 people including Juvenile Court employees and MCS’ Division of Alternative and Charter school personnel marveled at the wonderful work of the students.  

Mr. Michael Smith, the proud Program Administrator at HOPE Academy , contributed the success of “Walking in Memphis” to his TEAM HOPE and students.  Smith stated, “We outdo ourselves each year. We have a smorgasbord of talented and artistic young people.”  UP WITH HOPE!
