A huge congratulations to the HMS Robotics students who represented our school at the Worlds competition in Texas this past week. Team KryptoKnights was awarded the World Championships Middle School Excellent award! Please join in the excitement by watching this video of our students receiving this honor. Also representing our schools were the Gigabytes and Vipers. To the students and their coach, Ms. Allen, congratulations, we are so proud of you!

We are looking for photos to add to our slideshow celebrating our 8th graders.

We are looking for PHOTOS from your child's HMS experience - anything from 6th grade to 8th grade, in school or out of school, individual or group pics. We want it all!

Well, not ALL of it. In fact, we ask that you only submit ONE photo that just features your child but you can also submit additional photos that feature more than one kid. Our goal is to try and include EVERY grade 8 student in this slideshow.

Please use this form to submit your photos. You can submit more than one form but please limit pictures that only feature your child to ONE total. Please make sure your child is okay with the photos you are sharing! They will be viewed by the entire 8th grade and all of you 8th grade parents as well!

If you have any questions please email me at rabate@hopkinton.k12.ma.us. Photos need to be submitted by May 15th.

Thank you!
