Good morning, Burlington!

I’m going to make this one quick, since yesterday’s was a bit of a long read. Before you do anything, be sure to check out this announcement about the opening of Shawsheen Tech’s student-run dining room, which opened yesterday. This provides a great opportunity for students who are studying event planning, food service, and hospitality to get a feel for what it’s like to serve guests - and the prices are reasonable, too! Support our local technical school by visiting one day for lunch.

Shawsheen also has student-run services in the automotive shop, graphic communications print center, and cosmetology salon. Why not try out these services, too?
