Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a photo and video of the day.

The end of each school year brings with it staff changes, and this year’s changes are more significant than usual — especially at Hopkinton Middle School, where the top two administrators have taken positions in other communities.

Judi Allessio retired from the Senior Center last fall after nearly 15 years as administrative assistant. Looking back, she said it’s the people that stand out — especially participants and volunteers. Read about that and more — including a local Girl Scout who was a top cookie seller and why there won’t be a Horribles Parade again this July 4 — at Independent Thoughts.

Leading off College Honors, recent MassBay Community College graduate Cam Griffin found his passion for helping others when he struggled to find his own path, and people around him provided a caring and supportive network.

This week’s Baypath Adoptable Animal is a young duo, Max and Maia, who were rescued from the meat markets in Korea and “need a loving home with some patience to get them used to the world.”

Events in town this weekend include the Sharon Timlin Memorial Event on Saturday morning, the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition Against the Tide event at Hopkinton State Park on Saturday morning, the HOP Drive-Up Movie on Saturday night and the Freedom Team’s LGBTQ+ Pride Parade on Sunday.
