"Jr. Hope Squad Applications open!" Three hands stacking on top of each other.

We are looking for caring, self-motivated, and friendly 4th and 5th grade students to apply for the Jr. Hope Squad for the 2025-2026 school year. Applications are open to students who have not previously participated in Jr. Hope Squad in years past.

For more information on what a Hope Squad is/does go to: https://hope4utah.com/

Students will be required to attend weekly meetings before school (most likely Monday mornings at 8:30 am). Jr. Hope Squad members are expected to help with activities and be good friends to everyone at school. Members are integral in helping students-in-need connect with an adult. We are not asking students to be counselors, rather they are the listening ears and eyes that can inform trusted adults of student needs.

There is a one-time required $35 fee to participate. This fee covers tee shirt costs, bus to and from Jr. Hope Squad conference, other supplies for our annual HOPE WEEK. Contact the school directly if assistance is needed regarding the one-time fee. 801-402-3150

Applications will be available in the office for those interested.
