St. Lucie Public Schools is proud to be a Kids at Hope School District. Our schools are committed to being a place where caring adults have high expectations for students, provide opportunities to succeed, celebrate success, and believe in children.

What is Kids at Hope? It is a commitment to all children, at every age, stage, and grade level. It is a culture where adults believe in children, connect with them, discover their talents, and help students develop dreams and goals for the future. This is what hope is all about!

Kids at Hope is a community-wide movement that includes local government, law enforcement agencies, daycare centers, recreational facilities, and countless other organizations in St. Lucie County. St. Lucie Public Schools proudly partners with the Roundtable of St. Lucie County to provide a strong school-community partnership that keeps Kids at Hope going.

The St. Lucie Public School District implemented a five-year plan for all public schools to become Kids at Hope schools and that goal was achieved in April 2018.

At the start of the school year, Roundtable of St. Lucie County sponsored the National Kids at Hope Contest for schools and community agencies, which received 16 entries. Lakewood Park Elementary video won first place, while Fairlawn Elementary secured third place.

Below are the videos and photos from these participating schools.
