{"A":"Hopewell City Public Schools","B":"CREW CIRCLES Initiative","C":"CREW Academy is a school community within Hopewell City Public Schools that brings together representation from  over 40 Hopewell teachers and their classrooms to focus on elevating the core values of Community, Real-World Deeper Learning, Empathy & Equity, and Championing the Wins!       As a result of the pandemic and the many emotional, mental, academic challenges our students are navigating, we have recently started a pilot initiative called CREW Circles. As part of the pilot, our Innovation Coaches, 4 CREW Teachers, and our Dean of Student Experience are in collaboration together in helping our students unpack more of their identity stories through their personal experiences, and the powerful life connections they are making in our schools, community, and the world around them. Our CREW Circles initiative continues to be a sacred time where our students are able to listen, share, heal, and speak from the heart.    When our students begin to fully see one another as human beings and explore empathy and kindness, a deeper and more loving classroom community is fostered and transformational student experiences are created.
