Hopkinton Education Foundation to celebrate our 25th anniversary at our Silver Gala!

By contributor,

Say "Happy Holidays" and "Thank you!" all at the same time. The Thank-A-Teacher program is a great way to tell your child's teachers how much you appreciate the work that they do! Each educator honored by a donation receives a personalized card from the Education Foundation thanking them for their work, and includes the name of your child. The flyers were sent home this week in your child's backpack or you can download it here: http://hopkintoneducationfoundation.org/images/TATflyer_Winter2016.pdf
