With warmer temperatures and budding trees, spring is certainly in the air. This is also the season where Christians celebrate Christ’s resurrection at Easter with joy and gratitude.

At Kids Hope USA, we are inspired and motivated by the belief that all kids matter to Jesus. And Jesus put that into action as He died on the cross and was raised from the dead, promising us forgiveness and new life in Him.

“What?! It’s March, and I’m already supposed to start thinking about the end of the school year?”
Yes, as crazy as it sounds, we’re now entering the home stretch. A well-prepared year-end plan can help each student feel known and loved, will help you support and retain your mentors, and will deepen your partnership with your school.

Reading was always something I enjoyed, and as an English teacher, I loved to help my students discover books that sparked that same love of reading in them. Fast forward to now…with four kids and lots of family activities, I lost time to read and got out of the habit. Last January, I decided to make time to read again and set a goal to read 40 books. I blew my goal out of the water, but more importantly, I made time to slow down and do something I enjoy again!
