Hello HPS Family and Friends,


As we head into November, we’re excited to share that we’re already halfway to our $10,000 Annual Fund goal! Thanks to the generosity of our early supporters, we’re off to a great start! This month, we’re inviting our Holliston school community to help us cross the finish line before the holidays, supporting the programs, resources, and experiences that make a difference for students across our district.


It’s been a busy and exciting fall, and we’re so grateful for all the ways our families have supported the PTO through memberships, fundraisers, volunteering, and community events. Read on for the latest happenings and ways to stay involved!

Warmly,

Your PTO Executive Board

Stacey Raffi, Beth Leach, Michele Scarcelli, Tatyana Drobov, Emily Knup, and Erin Stanek
