[HMHS News] Hawk News : Week of January 30

[Steven Chamberlin]

HOPKINTON MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL MISSION

We foster a learning environment that is safe, supportive, and  
respectful.
We promote personal integrity, intellectual curiosity, and civic
responsibility.  We provide traditional and innovative opportunities  
for students to maximize their potential.

As a sports fan, I am at a loss without the New England Patriots in  
the hunt for another Super Bowl title.  It has been enjoyable to watch  
the continued success of the Boston Celtics and to see how well the  
Boston Bruins have been performing.

The snow has been piling up around my house and with warmer weather on  
the way, I’ll look forward to seeing some melting so I can see out  
the end of my driveway. The middle school had the opportunity to go to  
Loon Mountain this past Thursday, the day after several inches fell  
over the state.  Everyone had an enjoyable day, as the weather was  
perfect!

Preparations for the eighth annual Celebration of the Arts has begun.   
Students will be invited to participate in this wonderful event on  
Tuesday, March 31 at the middle high school.  Artists of all kinds are  
welcome, whether you perform alone or with others (trio, duet, band,  
theater group, chorus, jazz ensemble, etc.).  Your help and interest  
is needed to make the evening sparkle, so please come forward. The  
next COTA meeting is scheduled for February 12 at 3:15 pm at Maple  
Street School.  If you have any questions about this event you can  
contact Mike Alberici at Maple Street School.


The high school Winter Ball will take place on Saturday night at  
Harold Martin School.  The dance will be from 7:30 – 10:30 pm.   
Tickets can be purchased at the door for $5.00.

If you’re looking for something to do on Saturday, January 31, the  
Rotary Nordic Ski race will be taking place at the Fairgrounds.  The  
race starts at 11:00 am.

On Monday, February 2, Dan Meserve and I will be taking ten of our  
female athletes to participate in the 2009 Female Scholar Athlete  
Awards in Concord.  I look forward to attending this event every  
year.  It is wonderful to see our students get recognized for their  
hard work and effort.

Looking ahead, the middle school will be having a Valentine Day Semi- 
Formal on February 7.  The dance will be from 7:30 – 10:30 pm and  
will be held at the middle high school.  Mrs. McClellan will be host  
another night of poetry during the “Poetry Out Loud” event  
scheduled for February 12 at 6:30 pm in the high school library.

As I come to a close and as it is the beginning to a new year, I’ll  
leave you with this:

Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or  
system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most  
important subject, which we as a people may be engaged in.
-- Abraham Lincoln
