Hello HPS Families and Friends,


Spring has arrived—and with it, a wave of excitement and celebration! Thanks to your incredible support, we’re diving into the fun: planning joyful events, strengthening our school community, and embracing the warmer days ahead. April brings a burst of activity, from outdoor beautification projects with our fantastic Outdoor Learning Alliance (volunteers are always welcome!) to spirited assemblies, thoughtful teacher appreciation surprises, field days, and favorite traditions like the elementary ice cream social and the high school grad party. There’s so much ahead—and we’re just getting started!


Want to be part of the action? We’d love to have you involved! Simply reply to this email or explore open roles on our website. Our next districtwide meeting will take place May 26th in the HHS Library at 7pm. Everyone is welcome to join us!


And don’t forget—Elementary Square One Art orders are due THIS FRIDAY! This beloved fundraiser highlights our elementary students’ creativity while supporting the art department. With Mother’s Day right around the corner, it’s the perfect chance to order a meaningful keepsake. Deadline: April 10.


Your Holliston PTO Board,

Stacey, Beth, Michelle, Evie, Michele, & Jess
