Dear Families,
My name is Rachel Dalton-Viveiros and this is my fourth year as the president of the HPTO. Prior to this, I served as HPTO treasurer. I have two kids – a fifth grader and a third grader. We have lived in Hopkinton for 8 years arriving when my youngest was just a month old!
Growing up, everyone in my family was either a farmer or a teacher. After dinner, the debate was always John Deere or Case tractors but, when the discussion turned to ‘teaching to learn’ versus ‘teaching to the test’, my cousins and I ran outside and play. Those discussions were always heated! I personally never felt the calling to teach (the most challenging week of my life was teaching 8 three year-olds at vacation bible school and that was only three hours a day) but, I have tremendous respect for all the hard work and dedication our teachers, administration and staff put into our school and children. It is the HPTO’s goal to support our educators through fundraising, programming and volunteering.
One of my main goals for the upcoming school year is to provide better communication about the HPTO, what we do, how we do it and ways families and community members can get involved. There are so many programs and fundraisers sponsored by the HPTO and hundreds of volunteers that make it all happen.
Please consider becoming a member of the HPTO. Membership is an annual event and the cost is $25 per family. These dues go toward funding our impressive budget. Also check out our volunteer and events lists.
If you would like to know more about the HPTO or become involved, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks,
Rachel Dalton-Viveiros
