Dear Elementary Parents,
The Elementary School faculties will soon be meeting to plan student placement for next year. At Center School, the team places students for Grades 1 and 2; at Elmwood School, the team places students for Grades 3 and 4; and at Hopkins School, the team places students for grades 5 and 6.
I am pleased to announce my candidacy for the Hopkinton School Committee. My wife Eve Voegeli and I have made Hopkinton our home for nearly 20 years. We have four children, all of whom attend Hopkinton public schools.
Lori Nickerson and her family moved to Hopkinton in 2012 with the desire for a tight knit community with excellent schools for her 6 year old, 3.5 year old and 11 month old.
What makes these women special? Well, for starters, they’re both Moms and they are raising money for special education. The two have been training and fundraising for the past several months. Not an easy task considering the harsh winter and taking care of their (combined) five young children (ages 2-8).
It’s wonderful to see these women working together as a team, rather than two individual runners.
This morning at approximately 7:45 a.m., several staff members reported to the Elmwood School main office that an odor of gas was detected outside of the school building in the parking lot. To insure the safety of our students and staff members, everyone was immediately evacuated to the Elmwood gymnasium right from their school buses and parent drop-off, where no odor was present.
Sometimes, the best way to talk to your teen is to write to her. Writing allows you time to find just the right words. It also gives your teen time to read, think about your note and respond when she is ready.
Other benefits of writing to your teen include:

Hopkinton High School
Hopkinton High School’s drama students on March 13 to 15 will present “A Piece of My Heart,” Shirley Lauro’s emotionally charged play depicting the experiences of nurses serving in Vietnam.
The play, which the Vietnam Vets Association calls “the most enduring play on Vietnam in the nation,” portrays the young nurses before, during, and after their tour and ends as each leaves a personal token at the Vietnam memorial wall in Washington. It was adapted from Keith Walker’s 1986 book of the same name, which included oral histories from 26 women who served in Vietnam.
It has come to my attention that there is a rumor spreading amongst Hopkins students that a student injured a staff member at Hopkins School. I would like to clearly communicate that there is no truth to this rumor. Although the Hopkinton Paramedics were called to Hopkins School yesterday, it was due to a student medical issue (purely precautionary). I appreciate parents reaching out to Hopkins School and sharing that this information was spreading amongst Hopkins students.
