Scholarship to Honor Ms. Dacey

As many of you may know, it is a special year for Placentino’s 1st grade teacher, Ms. Susan Dacey. She has retired after being in the Holliston school system for 35 years!  In recognition of her exemplary teaching and dedication to the Holliston community and her continuing desire to keep giving to our children, Ms.Dacey’s last 1st grade class has created a special annual award to be given, in her honor, to a graduating senior beginning next year (2012).  Through our fundraising efforts and the generosity of the Holliston Citizens Scholarship Fund (who will match whatever we raise!!), this award will be given out to one of her former students, for the next 11 years - until this last class graduates. 

If you wish to contribute to this award, donations of any size can be made (anytime!) payable to:
