Get ready to run, walk, or skip the route, while being serenaded by our student musicians! HWFOTA is working behind the scenes to get everything in order for a great day! If you have any remaining questions, don't hesitate to message us here ASAP. We'd love to help!
And remember, even though online registration in now closed, you can still register in person today at New England Running Company (12 to 6 p.m.) or tomorrow morning before the race! See you there!!!!
Did you know that the HW Friends of the Arts has supported the arts in our district for over 27 years? Educators are invited to submit grant proposals that bring visual art, theater, and music into the classroom. Melody Miles is our annual fundraiser and allows us to support our teachers as they look to do big things. To learn more about Melody Miles visit https://runsignup.com/Race/MA/Hamilton/MelodyMiles

HW Special Education Parent Advisory Council

Have you wondered what SEPAC is? When you have a child with special needs or challenges, you might feel confused and alone. You may not know anyone whose child is having the same problems. And it might feel too difficult to talk about it with friends whose kids are not having any difficulties. The SEPAC community can connect you with other parents who are facing or have faced the same issues. These parent support groups can help you meet other parents with similar struggles. Once you begin talking to others, you’ll feel more supported and less alone. If you would like more information or have any questions: Please contact: bonenfantbecky@gmail.com
