Hopkinton Today: Friday, May 27

by | May 27, 2022 | Featured: Features, Hopkinton Today

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.

In the wake of Tuesday’s mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, a small group of Hopkinton residents gathered on the Town Common on Thursday for a candlelight vigil and discussion.

At Thursday’s School Committee meeting, Superintendent Carol Cavanaugh shared details about a flood earlier this week in the basement at Hopkinton Middle School that resulted in 3-4 inches of water consistently and water up to 4 feet high in the elevator shaft.
