    We hope you will join us tomorrow, Saturday, May 4, from 11:00am to 1:00pm for a Culture Fair at Shawsheen Tech! This is a Former English Learner and active English Learner student led event which will celebrate 16 countries with food, music, games, and interesting facts. When a student attends, they will be given a passport where they will fill out information, interview people, and reflect about what they have learned and will then gain extra credit in their social studies classes. The event is sponsored by our Skills Leadership Team, and National Honor Society. All are welcome and encouraged to bring friends and family to this important Shawsheen community event.
