"Medfield played very tough today and beat us 3-2" said Coach Nancy Clark. Her #2 Singles player was not feeling well, so they had to default a match. But the Lady Hillers are still in first place by themselves with one loss. Dover-Sherborn and Medfield are tied for 2nd with two losses. They play each other next week again.

On the heels of yesterday's 4-1 victory over Westwood, the Lady Hillers had a huge win today at Dover-Sherborn 3-2. Coming into the match, D/S was in second place in the league with only one loss, which was to the Hillers in April. With today's win Hopkinton remains in first and undefeated (12-0 overall, 10-0 Tri Valley League), and D/S is now tied for 2nd with Medfield, who also has 2 losses. To wrap up a very exciting week on Thursday, the Lady Hillers host Medfield.

Where should you draw the line between helping and taking over? You can:

Hopkinton High School Girls Tennis continued to roll with a sweep of Ashland today 5-0. The Hillers remain undefeated with a 10-0 overall record, 8-0 in the Tri-Valley League.

Convert Short-term Memory Into Long-term Learning

With final exams coming up, your teen will have to recall a lot of information. Good recall is not simply a gift. It can be learned and improved through practice, and finding what works best for your teen.
The key to good recall is moving a piece of information from short-term memory (which lasts a few moments) to long-term memory (which lasts months or years).

Encourage your teen to use the ideas below that most appeal to her. Such as:

HOPKINTON, MA. -- It’s been 40 years since JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR first hit the big screen, but the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical has morphed from a controversial Broadway show to a time-tested classic.
