Hedgehogs, Lemurs and Kangaroos! Oh My!

Posted Feb 1, 2012

The HPTA Enrichment Program in January sponsored a visit by Animal Adventurers for all first graders at Center School.

Animal Adventurers cares for rescued animals and educates youngsters with their visits to local schools.

Children were able to pet a hedgehog, gecko and alligator.

A student from each class helped display a python snake too, but the biggest surprise was to see a one-year-old kangaroo hop around the room.

Center School really was a zoo for the day!

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.
