I had double duty on Tuesday this week meeting with different groups! First was a legislative breakfast at Mystic Valley Elder Services. We discussed MVES's legislative and FY2025 budget priorities, and also listened to consumer success stories. Next I shifted to the Municipal Police Training Committee Lynnfield Academy to tour the facility, meet the staff and observe members of the 5th MPTC Lynnfield Recruit Officer Course during their training day, which includes a member of the Everett Police Department! Great morning with my colleagues both in the Legislature and community. 🍩🚓

Great Morning reading to the students at the Maddie English! Loved meeting them and their teachers. Always great to see my daughter on the "E" award Hall of Fame. They certainly got their brains from their mother! 

Great event on Wednesday, March 20th, celebrating computer science education in Massachusetts schools. We had a great showing of students demonstrating their skills, especially from our own Everett Public Schools. I was proud to help sponsor and organize this event to not only discuss the importance of computer science but also to give these talented and intelligent kids an opportunity to showcase their hard work. I was truly blown away. Great job done by all.
