On Monday, November: 4th, the Hopkinton Middle School will host a 3-hour walk in memory of Shayne Desroches. “Shayne’s Walk-a-thon” will take place on the Hopkinton High School track from 6-9 PM.
“The goal of Shayne’s Walk-a-thon is to provide the opportunity for us all to join together and celebrate Shayne's life,” said Principal Alan Keller. “We hope that you and your family can join us to support Shayne's family and friends from Hopkinton and Holden, our students, and staff.”
The following day, Tuesday, November 5, is a Professional Development Day, and therefore, students will not have classes.
Along with walking to honor Shayne, there will be music, concessions, and periodic ceremonies throughout the evening. The middle school is also in the process of designing t-shirts and bracelets which will be sold at the walk and at school.
Please visit Shayne's Walk-a-thon website for more information and to register.
Donations of food are also needed. If you are able to donate, please contact Melissa Primeau at the HMS guidance office at mprimeau@hopkinton.k12.ma.us.
