Dear Hopkins Families,

At approximately 9:10 this morning, our fire alarm system was unexpectedly activated and Hopkins School evacuated to our fields. All students and staff were immediately accounted for, per our evacuation procedures. The fire department was on scene and after an investigation determined that there had been a small, contained fire in a bathroom that activated the sprinkler system in the area.

Hopkins Elementary School hosted their annual Veteran’s Day ceremony. Veteran Michael Whalen and State Representative Carolyn Dykema were on hand to view the student presentations and spoke about the meaning of Veterans Day. View Photos Here!!
