An Honored Sixth Grade Tradition
An Honored Sixth Grade Tradition
In recognition of Patriot Day on September 11, 2026, our sixth grade class was featured in the Bonner County Daily Bee for a longstanding Hope Elementary tradition: sixth grade flag duty.
Each year, our sixth graders take responsibility for raising and lowering the American and Idaho flags at our school. We’re especially grateful for our connection with the Clark Fork VFW, whose members help teach our students proper flag etiquette and an understanding of the significance and responsibility that comes with caring for our nation’s flag. We’re proud to see our students carry this Hope Elementary tradition forward with respect and care.

Our school-wide field trip to Cloudsledge Conservation Trust is a longstanding Hope Elementary tradition, carried forward over the years by dedicated teachers and students. Each year, our 6th graders step into a special leadership role, becoming the teachers for the day as they guide younger students through hands-on learning and exploration in the outdoors.
This Green Light to Shine video, filmed during the 2025–26 school year, highlights Miss Leslie and her 6th grade class as they carried on this special tradition—bringing together leadership, learning, and a connection to the beautiful place we call home.
Wildcat Woods is a cherished part of our Hope Elementary campus, giving students and staff a beautiful space to take learning beyond the classroom and connect with the outdoors.
In this Green Light to Shine video, filmed during the 2025–26 school year, Mr. Noble shares how he and his students gave Wildcat Woods some much-needed care—cleaning up trails and making improvements that have helped our entire school better enjoy this special outdoor learning space. We’re grateful for their hard work and proud to see our students taking an active role in caring for a place that belongs to all of us.
Green Light to Shine was Lake Pend Oreille School District’s theme for the 2025–26 school year, celebrating the people, programs, and opportunities across our district that give students the support and encouragement to grow and shine to their fullest potential. The videos above highlight just a couple examples of how that theme came to life right here at Hope Elementary.
