Hope Academy offers emotion-based curriculum for children affected by trauma

Jack Travis

When a child experiences trauma– from abuse to a parent’s divorce– feelings about school can be overwhelming and challenging to process. Staying in a regular classroom setting can be nearly impossible for certain young people. The Arkansas Children’s Shelter created the Hope Academy as a place for kids who need a trauma-informed approach to education. A few weeks ago, Ozarks at Large’s Jack Travis visited the specialized school and met with administrators.

Giants dressed in service station uniforms or topped with cowboy hats used to loom over Route 66. The fiberglass behemoths were designed to lure tourists. Most are gone now, but this weekend, a new Route 66 giant will be assembled in Galena, Kansas, outside Gearhead Curios. Yesterday, Ozarks at Large's Kyle Kellams asked the owner about the new giant and about what we might find inside Gearhead Curios.
