I nominate Ilene Silver, Elmwood School’s Principal as this year’s Hopkinton hero.  I love Mrs. Silver!  She reminds me of Mr. Keane in Sarah Creech’s book, A Fine, Fine School.  Like Mr. Keane, she is happy about everyone learning. Mrs. Silver wants all of her students to learn lots of things, just like Mr. Keane does.  She wants us to learn reading, writing, science, and math. She offers creative programs to help us learn these things.  She has all of her students participate in a Science Fair, and in Second Grade Math Night to learn Everyday Math.   We also got to meet teachers from Mad …

She knows the books so well, she will know what you’ll enjoy. Mrs. K has helped me many times choose just the …

At Hopkins School, the bus ride is a lot longer than before. Debbie the bus driver makes the ride nicer by giving me books to read and toys to play with. They help me have some fun and follow my bus rules. I need to follow my bus rules to be safe. I get trade-in minutes for following my bus rules in the morning. I use them to get computer time or play with Legos. Debbie gives me Wii video-game cards when I follow my bus …
