Dear Parents/Guardians,

At approximately 7:20 this morning, one of the lights in the MS Auditorium briefly ignited debris inside the fixture. The fire was quickly extinguished, but to ensure safety, the building was evacuated.

Hopkinton Fire Department responded and investigated the area. At 7:45 a.m. they determined it was safe for students and staff to re-enter the building and for us to resume our school day.

We are working with Dr. MacLeod, Officer Powers, the Hopkinton Fire Department and our Buildings and Grounds Department to ensure all lighting fixtures are safe.

Thank you,

Alan M. Keller
