Spring yearbook supplements are in and they look great! These include spring sports, the prom, graduation, the eclipse, and anything else that happened from the end of March through the end of school last year. If you purchased a yearbook, you get one for free - you just need to pick it up! We will have them available outside the cafeteria at all lunches on Friday 9/6 and Monday 9/9 as well as during flex blocks on Tuesday 9/10 and Thursday 9/12. Come pick yours up!

The price of the yearbook is currently $90 and will remain so until 10/31/24. This is $35 off the final price so purchase your student's copy now and save!

Also, for anyone wishing to purchase a tribute ad for a senior or any student, you can use the same link but scroll down to the ad section. Sometimes senior friends get together and create their own ad! Tribute ads are due by 1/31/25.

Seniors - don't forget: senior portraits are due by October 14th!

Contact me with any questions and spread the word! I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on the lowest price for the yearbook!! - Mrs. Williams (sawilliams@hopkinton.k12.ma.us)

This year the club will be heavily centered around entrepreneurship. The club will be a sort of mock startup incubator/accelerator (put simply: we help you start a business).

Lecturing will take up a very small portion of the club but we will still guide you through a rough outline for starting your own business and developing an entrepreneurial mindset. Meaning, you will both learn by instruction and doing.

Investing strategies and other business related topics will also be harped on. Members will participate in a Investopedia stock market simulator game.

It doesn't matter what you're passionate about; ANYONE can be an entrepreneur. Even if you have never had aspirations for business, finance, or a lame 9-5 cubicle job, entrepreneurship is a whole different realm.

Don't want to start a business?

No worries, come here to:

- Learn about other business/investment related topics

- See if entrepreneurship is for you

- Plan/take steps towards becoming a future entrepreneur.

- Develop side projects

From side hustles such as a vending machine business to the next fortune 500 company, the type and scale of business you want to pursue is entirely up to you.

Interested or want to know more contact me: smoody@hillers.org

Each September 11th, the Project 351 community joins millions of volunteers across the country for a National Day of Service and Remembrance. We unite to honor and remember the loved ones lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001; and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms since 2001. Through service, we pay tribute to the spirit of unity, compassion, and generosity that healed our nation in the months following that tragic day.

Our mission is simple: To demonstrate the power of hope and the spirit of community. And, to honor great loss with kindness, generosity, and service that uplifts those in greatest need of our comfort and support.

This year, to honor and remember those lost to the tragic attacks on 9/11, Hopkinton Project 351 members Anna Noroian, Aryan Shah, Sophia Zanella, and Ryan Moore created a tribute rock garden with names of victims and fallen service heroes. We invite you to pause by the garden, read the names (near the front of the school), and encourage you to have a moment of reflection.

Any art supplies in good condition - pencils, crayons, markers, etc.

Drop off at any of the Hopkinton Public Schools

The art supplies will be sorted into kits that will be distributed to children served by Project Just Because, a local non-profit that provides basic necessities to families in need.
