During a first review of the school district’s weapons policy at Thursday’s School Committee meeting, Superintendent Carol Cavanaugh spoke about the necessity to include a section on “religious artifacts that resemble weapons.” She said that students baptized Sikhs wear a kirpan — a 3-inch long, curved, dull blade — under their clothing.

Our latest Move In Style Athlete Spotlight shines on Hopkinton High School junior boys basketball player Cooper Willadsen, who stood out in the Hillers’ state tournament loss last weekend.
