Dear Holliston Students and Families,

As I continue my Listening and Learning Tour this fall, one of the most inspiring stops was Celebrate Holliston Day. I saw so many booths that were either directly or indirectly connected with the Holliston Public Schools. Students, parents, and dedicated community volunteers worked hand in hand to showcase their programs.
