Hopkinton Receives $400,000 for Elmwood Farm Acquisition

By Mike Torosian, Production Coordinator

The Town of Hopkinton today received $400,000 to help preserve an 85-acre historic farm in a scenic part of town that is the former site of the Abbott Farm. The farm has a rich history, including formerly growing food for the Worcester County Food Bank. The preservation of the farm will provide many future uses for the Town, including potentially supporting a community sponsored agriculture (CSA) project. Preservation will also protect a portion of the aquifer for the town's new well.

Principal Alyson Geary Says Goodbye in Letter to Parents

By Michelle Murdock, Freelance Writer

Dear Parents,

It is with mixed emotions that I write my last principal’s message. As I thought about
the topic for this message, I reflected on the past 8 years at HHS and what final
thoughts would be the most valuable for me to share. I decided that if I could share
one message with you, it would be the importance of letting your children struggle
through the difficulties of life and develop the essential coping skills and resilience
that will help them navigate their future.
