The fact that Governor-Elect Charlie Baker visited Lawrence just the day before being sworn into the office to which he was elected, makes us think. And we want to think positively.
Although the citizens of Lawrence favored the Democratic combination with more than 5,000 votes, he visits us and choose to meet with students of our schools and congratulate them on the success achieved, demonstrating that he is interested in education and that we can count on his support.
In his honor, the students of the Frost School, Guilmette, Wetherbee, SPARK Academy and Parthum gave him an amazing show we thought we can only see in professional settings.
In his brief participation that included the presentation of the Governor-Elect, the Lieutenant Governor-Elect Karyn Polito said something that we totally agree with: “This is the third place we have visited today, but what we’ve seen here has been the highlight of the day.”
From our pages, we congratulate all the School Department staff for the great work they are doing with our children. And our children, for the effort and dedication shown to such distinguished visitors.
