Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Over the past couple of weeks, I have received numerous e-mails and
phone calls from parents, teachers and administrators regarding the
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012 School Committee meeting. This meeting
has been previously advertised as the evening where the School
Committee will finalize the FY ’13 budget. The actual agenda has now
been posted on-line and may be found here:
http://www.hanoverschools.org/schoolcommittee/agendas/2011/agenda1-04-12.pdf
.
Please note that the open meeting portion of the evening begins at
7:15 p.m. and will be held at the Hanover High School (not the Salmond
School as with most previous meetings).

Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Ginny Hoar, a Hanover resident, has a very special holiday present for
someone in Hanover. Here is an excerpt from her e-mail:
“I found a wedding ring near the back entrance of Hanover High
School on December 4th as we were helping the awesome (shameless
mother’s plug) HHS Marching Band prepare for their Taunton Parade
performance. I gave it to (Dr. Tom Raab, HHS principal) immediately
after, as he was also chaperoning the trip and he still has it in his
office.”
According to Ginny, as of this writing, Dr. Raab still has the ring.
If you lost your ring in early December in or around Hanover High
School, please contact Dr. Raab at (781) 878-5450 to identify it.
School is open Wednesday and Thursday only; don’t delay!
Happy Hanukkah or Merry Christmas to a lucky someone this week from
Ginny Hoar!
