Children’s Gallery Family Fun Event is Coming!

Posted Jan 17, 2012

The HPTA is beginning to create baskets for its popular Children’s Gallery Family Fun Event.
Classes at Hopkinton schools create gift baskets with specific themes, which will then be auctioned off at the HPTA event on Saturday March 24.
The baskets are always popular, and it’s a successful fundraiser for the HPTA. But we need your help to create the baskets and make this event as successful as ever.
 
Donations will be collected from January 20 – February 18.

Alive with the Sound of Music

Posted Jan 1, 2012

The Preschool was alive with the sound of music, and smiles and laughter, thanks to a recent visit by the lively “Mrs. Grady the Music Lady.”
The students explored a variety of musical concepts hands-on, through the use of rhythm scarves, hand bells and maracas.

Mrs. Grady traveled to foreign lands with the students by incorporating multi-cultural music activities into her lesson.

The smiles and laughter weren’t the only benefit of Mrs. Grady’s visit; research shows that early experiences with music can positively impact reading and language skills.

As such, we hope to enrich our preschoolers’ experience with future entertaining and educational visits from “Mrs. Grady, the Music Lady.”

There is a different online form for each school. After you fill out one form you will have the option of filling out additional forms depending on how many children you have.

Each year a new form needs to be filled out.  Even if you filled out one last year, we still need a new one this year. Thanks for your help!

In order to volunteer in the schools, a current CORI form must be on file (CORI checks are good for three years). You can complete a CORI form at any of the schools main office or the Superintendent’s office during office hours. Forms must be returned to school office in person and office personnel will take a copy of your license or other photo ID before submitting your CORI form for approval. Only one completed form is needed for all Hopkinton public schools. More information is available on the district website http://www.hopkinton.k12.ma.us/.
