Today’s verdict on George Floyd’s murder is a resounding outcry that Black Lives Matter. It reminds us of our collective humanity. It reminds us of the sacred responsibility we share to stand together for what is right. It fortifies our resolve that injustices can no longer prevail. Too many lives have been needlessly lost. We say, Enough!

Community members are invited to attend a Lowell Public Schools input session on Tuesday, April 20 at 6pm, regarding the planned use of federal emergency funds to accelerate student learning and overcome COVID-19 related learning loss.  

This session is open to all families and community members, who will receive important information about the anticipated revenue (Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief – ESSER) for Lowell Public Schools and hear about how the District plans to prioritize the allocation of these funds. 

Community members are invited to give feedback on the ESSER grant application, which the District has to submit to DESE this spring in order to receive these funds.

Lowell Community Health Center is the first independent, federally qualified community health center to use Notable Health to mobilize its COVID-19 vaccination efforts and support efforts to improve patient access and remove barriers to care.

Two-year funding and increased access to vaccines will allow Lowell CHC to address COVID-19 and bolster our commitment to equitable, affordable, quality care for our patients as we recover from the pandemic. There is much work to be done!
