"We commend Linda Hyslop, chairperson for the Hopewell Schools Employee Campaign, whose total has already surpassed their goal of $8,000 and appreciate the efforts of everyone involved.
Ms. Hyslop commented that these results could not have been achieved without the hard work and efforts of the coordinators in each school and the generosity of the employees.
