Dear Mission Of Hope Friends;

We have recently launched a new avenue of encouragement for the School Children we are so privileged to serve; in rural Appalachian Community Elementary Schools. It really begins the early seeding, of what our Scholarship Program is trying to do; and that\’s encourage Kids to \”Stay In School & Graduate!\”

Bill Williams & Brian Holt recently did a powerful and inspirationally uplifting story, for WBIR-TV in Knoxville, TN; about this exciting new program. I also want to acknowledge and thank Stan & Jackie Johnson, long time Mission Of Hope Friends; for helping create and implement this first time event for The Hope, as well as the Staff at Hayes Lewis School.

Here is the link for this incredible story: http://www.wbir.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=158049

Thank you for your friendship and support and for all you do to help us extend True Hope.

Sincerest Regards,
Emmette Thompson, Executive Director – Mission of Hope
