We would like to thank South Shore Tech. for their donation of these face shields. These will help minimize the risk to our members. @KBoyleSSVT SouthShoreTechnical Tom Hickey

Great to stop by SouthShoreTechnical today — the school has been using 3D printers to make face shields for local area hospitals & first responders. They’ve donated over 250 thus far and are now producing 75-80 a day. I’m really proud to see so many in our community stepping up.

This is incredibly important for families to fill out. It directly affects funding! Massachusetts K-12 MASC-SchoolCommittee #Maedu

Lemme' get this straight: 🏀 Ray Allen makes 40% of his *career* 3 pointers and is inducted into the hall of fame. 🏫 BUT, Frank gets 50% of the points in his class and it's an "F." ⁉️ So, maybe the points & percentages we often use in schools are a bit arbitrary? #sblchat
