Schools

On February 16, Hopkins School students, staff, and parents gathered in the gym for the All School Meeting. The All School Meetings showcase what students have been learning in the schools, as well as what they have achieved. This month's meeting was focused on making positive changes in the school by standing up to bullying and the value of hard work.

After the Pledge of Allegiance was said, a saxophone quartet made up of senior boys at the high school performed at the meeting. All but one member of the group started playing together when they were students at Hopkins.

The School Committee held their regular weekly meeting on February 2nd. The first item on the agenda was the lottery for next fall's full day kindergarten program at Center School. There will be a guaranteed total of 5 classrooms filled for next year. A 6th may be added too, depending upon demand as well as budget constraints. Each child whose family signed them up for the lottery was assigned a number. Using the number generator website random.org, a number was arbitrarily given to each of the students.
