To the Editor:
On behalf of the HPTA I would like to send out a huge thank you to the wonderful student volunteers who helped with the babysitting during Monday’s Special Town Meeting. Students from the National Honor Society, the Hopkinton Leo’s Club, CommuniTeen, St. John’s and elsewhere helped take care of almost 50 children throughout the evening.
Thank you to the volunteer organizers, nail painters, toddler walkers, infant rockers, movie guys, allergy police, gimp master, duck-duck goose players – you all know who you are. Every one of them was patient, kind, creative, fun – simply amazing. Parents, you should be very proud of your children, as I was proud to have them with me. I am not exaggerating when I say I could not have offered this service without them.
I also want to thank Gretchen Stephan from Art on Wheels, who helped keep the children inspired, happy and busy with a mural project. I can’t wait to see the finished project.
Thank you, thank you!
Respectfully,
Beth D’Alleva, HPTA Secretary
