There's still time to honor your Hopkinton hero!

Honor Your Hopkinton Hero

Here’s your chance to say “thank you” to someone in town who has been your hero. It could be a friend who helped you when you were sick, a child who offered to shovel your front walk, or someone at a local business who went out of their way to do something nice for you. Think of the possibilities! People of all ages are invited to submit names and a few sentences explaining WHY this person is your hero. (You may be asked for a picture at a later date.)
Sixteen names will be selected and will be featured this summer on our Story Walk™, which is on the path behind the Slusser Center and playground. ALL names will be posted in the library with the reason they were chosen.
Please return this form to the Hopkinton Town Library by Friday, June 5.
This project is part of Hopkinton Town Library’s
2015 Summer Reading Program
“Every Hero Has a Story.”
