History of H.O.P.E • Hispanic Organization for Parents & Education (H.O.P.E.) began as a vision of our school’s principal Ms. Catherine Real and our Instructional Dean Mr. Gabriel Aguilar, 5 years ago, and has quickly evolved into a trend setting force that has set the standard for other parent organizations. The vision was to create an atmosphere/environment where Hispanic students were offered and had access to all the educational resources that would allow them to compete with their counterparts and not feel inferior to said individuals. Their efforts have influenced the creation of H.O.P.E. Chapters at Chaparral Intermediate School and Walnut Elementary School. Lastly, HOPE is part of “Magnificent 7” (combined parent groups on campus)

Registration – Rodeo Round up Results • We had several new members join our organization as a result of all our volunteers working the registration table and back to school night. (“Thank You “to all our volunteers). • During Rodeo Round Up we raised $ 581.00 dollars for our school thanks again to all the hard work of all our volunteers who donated the ingredients and worked the booth (some did both).
SAT Boot Camp / Fundraising • Partnership with “Catalyst Prep” for our annual SAT Boot Camp held on campus here at Diamond Bar High School. We host and they facilitate. (need volunteers to proctor camp on Sat 9-24 & Sun 9-25). • Fundraising: - as non-profit organization, the only way we sustain any working capital is through donations/fundraising such as boot camp. (suggestions?) – already committed to carnival and lunch trucks via “Mag 7” (50-50 proceeds)
Annual Christmas Party • HOPE Christmas Party is scheduled for Saturday, December 10, 2011 and will be held @ Heritage Park Hall from 5-10 p.m.* • - will be potluck • - games • - music, etc.. * please see party coordinator Karen Rodriguez for details/assignments.
Board Member Positions / Committee Chairpersons • We still need a secretary/treasurer* • We also need committee chairpersons for functions and fundraising events (ie.., college tours, fundraisers). • Consider future board member position as board member positions become available through attrition almost every other year. • * current treasurer (Karen) would like to become our secretary if we obtain new board member willing to become treasurer.
