Hello, Nighthawks! I am Slavka Juresic, and I am the Head Custodian here at New Hope!

I am originally from Bosnia. I have lived here in the United States for more than 25 years! I have been working as a custodian for Forsyth County Schools for almost 18 years, and I have been a Head Custodian for the past 15 years.

My husband is Tonco, and we have 2 children. My daughter is Ana and she is married and has two little girls. My granddaughters are my world! I also have a son, Ivan. I truly believe the saying that "Home is wherever your family is!" Family is my favorite thing but I also enjoy being outdoors and hiking in my free time.

I love making New Hope a safe and happy place for students, parents and staff!

Hola! My name is Laura Chavez and I am one of the custodians here at New Hope. This is my first time working at a school and I love it! Not only do I like the job, but I love the staff and students here also. My parents were originally from Mexico and I am proud of my Mexican heritage. My family also includes my three sons as well as our family dog! 

Hello! My name is Elvedin Ejupovic, and I have worked here at New Hope since the school opened. I am planning to stay many years! I love this place so much. The people here are very friendly, and I like working with my coworkers. In my free time, I enjoy exercising like walking and riding my bike.
