The Friday Focus

The 4th annual Hopewell Valley 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run, Saturday, April 18th!

This event brings together students, families, and community members to raise funds for HVCHS senior events and other activities for the classes of 2027 & 2028.

From Soil to Scholars: Volunteers needed for garden prep!

Thanks to the dedicated work of HVRSD's Climate Action Committee, HVRSD received a Climate Literacy Grant, and will partner with The Watershed Institute to install native plant gardens at all six district schools. These "living classrooms" will allow K-12 students to tackle real-world climate solutions right on campus. But we need your help!

We are looking for volunteers to help with prep so that students can plant smoothly. The slots are:

• Sat 4/18 @ Timberlane, 1-4pm
• Sun 4/19 @ Central High 9am-12pm/ Hopewell Elementary 1-4pm
• Sun 4/26 @ Toll Gate 9am-12pm/ Bear Tavern 1-4pm
• Tues 4/28 @ Stony Brook, 1-4pm

Whether you can stay for the full three hour block or just drop by for one hour, every bit of help counts. Please sign up here, or email Olivia at ospildooren@thewatershed.org with your availability.

The HVCHS Advanced Community-Based Creative Design class are selling 2026–2027 school year calendars featuring our very own district therapy dogs, crafted by each student in class! Each calendar is $20, and all proceeds support AIR, a nonprofit focused on improving mental health and well-being through the power of dogs. Quantities are limited, so be sure to preorder yours soon! Pre-orders will be open from Monday, April 13th, to Monday, April 20th. Scan the QR code on attached link. Thank you for supporting a great cause and our incredible therapy dogs!

Parents of Incoming Kindergarten and First Grade Students:

Safety Town will be held from June 22 - June 26, 9am-12pm @ Bear Tavern Elementary

Safety Town is a one-week summer program offered to incoming kindergarten and first-grade students, to provide a realistic, child-sized town with miniature streets, buildings, crosswalks, and working traffic lights. Students will navigate the safety town setting on a provided bicycle while learning the importance of bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicular safety. The program is directed by YMCA staff members with assistance from local youth volunteers and features visits by police, firefighters, paramedics, and other local first responders and community members.
