Shawsheen Valley Regional Vocational Technical School District

Congratulations to Ava Noble, a senior in Shawsheen's Medical Assisting program, for being featured as the March Co-op Spotlight student.

Ava is gaining valuable hands-on experience at New England Women’s Health, a longtime Shawsheen co-op partner. Through her placement, she has had the opportunity to learn directly from physicians and nurse practitioners as she prepares for a future in women’s healthcare.

At Shawsheen, Ava is also a varsity soccer and lacrosse captain, girls basketball manager, yearbook content director, and a recipient of the Citizenship Award.

We are proud of the leadership and determination Ava brings to both her co-op placement and the Shawsheen community.

The Shawsheen Tech Building Committee will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, March 17 at 3:00 p.m.

The meeting will take place in the John P. Miller Conference Room at Shawsheen Tech.

Community members interested in the ongoing work of the Building Committee are welcome to attend.

Spring sports season begins today at Shawsheen.

Good luck to all of our student athletes participating in tryouts as they take the next step toward representing the Rams this season.

Students can look forward to favorites such as mozzarella sticks with marinara, mandarin orange chicken with brown rice and broccoli, grilled cheese with tomato soup, crispy chicken sandwiches, and pizza to close out the week.

Coming Wednesday: A new option will be available for students in the Grab and Go room. A newly installed warmer will feature a rotating selection of hot sandwiches served with a vegetable. Students are encouraged to check the menu boards daily for available choices. Options may include cheeseburgers, hot dogs, empanadas, bagel bites, chicken bacon ranch wraps, meatball subs, and more. Selections may change throughout the week.

Culture, community, and connection will be on full display at Shawsheen.

Hosted by the Multicultural Student Association, the fourth annual Culture Fair will take place on Saturday, April 11, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Families and community members are invited to help celebrate the many cultures represented within the Shawsheen community.

Students may be asking staff and community members to serve as event sponsors. Sponsors help welcome families, assist with country tables, share a simple recipe from a featured country, and stamp passports as participants explore each station.
Shawsheen is home to 103 multicultural students, many of whom are multilingual. The Culture Fair is an opportunity to learn from one another and celebrate the diversity that strengthens our community
