Principal's Update - March 17th 2023
Dear Shawsheen Students, Parents/Guardians, and Colleagues, I want to thank the Billerica Substance Awareness & Prevention Committee (BSAP) for generously funding the speaker presentation we provided to students and families this week from the national speaker, Tony Hoffman, who connects important topics like mental health and substance use. Mr. Hoffman's message to students was truly inspiring. At the end of each presentation, we reminded students that if they find themselves struggling with substance use, they can turn to a trusted adult at Shawsheen for support and they will not get in trouble for doing so. If you'd like to learn more about the perspective Tony Hoffman shared with us this week, you can learn more by visiting: https://www.tonyhoffmanspeaking.com/. I also want to thank BSAP, the Wilmington Substance Abuse Coalition, Hope's Room, MPY Inc., and Shawsheen staff for supporting our first Substance Use Awareness Night.

Happy New Year! It was great to welcome students back into the building on Wednesday and it is hard to believe that freshmen have already completed the 9th cycle of exploratory.
