April is the month to investigate 'hope'.  Our assemblies will encourage our children to think about the importance of hope in our world.

"The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something.  Don't wait for good things to happen to you.  If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope." - Barack Obama

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.  Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."- Helen Keller

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.  I cannot reach them but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow them." - Louisa May Alcott (author of the novel Little Women)
