At the April 17th school committee meeting, I was aghast to hear a parent (Tim Ritterbusch) report that there is consideration to substantially reduce the amount of TechEd exposure our children receive in the Hopkinton Middle School. Mr. Ritterbusch’s report compels me to weigh-in on the importance of TechEd and, more broadly, STEM in our curriculum and our children’s futures.

One of the state mandated goals for a School Committee is to review and approve the school budget. Doing this right requires extensive discussion and prioritization among the administrators, superintendent, and the School Committee, leading up to the Annual Town Meeting vote. So how do we get there?
Our budgeting process must be open to the public and offer multiple opportunities for input. This requires an engaged and trusting community.
The Hopkinton High Varsity Girls Tennis team were on the road Thursday to take on the Raiders of Wellesley. Hillers came out on top 3-2 in this non-league match. Coach Nancy Clark commented that it was a "Big win for us against very powerful Division 1 team." Hillers remain undefeated.
On Saturday April 26, 2014 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Hopkinton Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its seventh opportunity in three years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to the Hopkinton Police Department at 74 Main Street.
My passion to give back to the Hopkinton community is what drives me to seek election to the School Committee. Yet, it is my specialized skills as a corporate attorney that makes me uniquely qualified for the position.
