Capital’s Celebration of Day of Hope and Hope Week
Boise School District will be celebrating a "Day of Hope" on Thursday, February 13, and Hope Week from February 24th to the 28th in an effort to raise awareness about suicide prevention and mental wellness.
Currently, suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10-17. In Idaho, in 2022, 444 people died by suicide, and over 21.3% of high school students have attempted suicide. More information can be found at https://www.youthranch.org/idaho-youth-suicide-data.
During the Day of Hope (Feb. 13th) students in the Boise School District’s Hope Squad organized a community-wide effort to bring the community together with the goal of destigmatizing mental health issues and empowering community members to ask for help when they are in an emotional crisis. At Capital on Thursday, February 13th, students’ are asked to wear the color green to promote Hope Squads annual theme 'Planting Seeds of Hope.' Planting Seeds of Hope aims to convey the idea of nurturing optimism and resilience in others, with the belief that small acts of kindness and care can grow into something powerful over time. During 2nd period, teachers will give students a clothespin to write a positive message or affirmation. Capital Hope Squad members will hang all of the clothes pins around the school during Hope Week to share our school wide message of hope.
During Hope Week (Feb. 24th - 28th) the Hope Squad has planned daily activities for students to participate in at Capital. The activities include reading to students at Valley View Elementary, Go Team therapy dogs, athletic events during lunch, affirmation floral giveaways, and ending with Friday rootbeer floats. Please see the attached flyer for daily activities and more information regarding Hope Week.
*About Hope Squad: Hope Squad is a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program that works to reduce suicide through public awareness and education. The goal of Hope Squad is to equip students with mental health and suicide prevention knowledge and ensure they know how and where to get help in times of need.
