    Reminder: 2nd Act - Substance Use Prevention Play for Freshmen on April 29, 2025

    The following information was initially emailed to parents/guardians of SVTHS freshmen yesterday:

    All Shawsheen Valley Technical High School freshmen will be attending a play about substance use prevention presented by 2nd Act, a collective of artists in recovery on Tuesday, April 29th in the SVTHS auditorium. I’ll Never Do That shows how substance use disorder is a family disease, affecting everyone. The major focus of this play is how families cope with the effects of substance use disorder. After the performance, the actors share their personal stories, followed by a talk back session with the students. If you prefer that your child not participate in this presentation, please send an email stating you want to opt-out your child to Angela Caira at acaira@shawtech.org with OPT-OUT of 2nd Act on the subject line of the email. Please include your child’s first & last name in the email. All OPT-OUT emails must be received on or before Monday, April 28th at 2:04 PM to ensure we honor your request. We cannot guarantee that we’ll see opt-out emails after 2:04 PM on 4/28. Click on the following link to view the full message shared yesterday: Parent/Guardian Info Page - 2nd Act: I'll Never Do That.
