To comply with the state’s COVID-19 guidelines, the event is limited to 300 guests, including parents and chaperones. “I am excited to host Everett’s EGG-STRAVAGANZA Egg Hunt,” said DeMaria. “Although we are unable to host our annual Spring Fling due to the pandemic, we are able to adapt to provide some normalcy to our children while adhering to COVID-19 guidelines.” Guests will be split into two groups with the first 150 people assigned to Group 1 from 9:30 to 11 a.m. and the latter 150 people assigned to Group 2 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Glendale Park will be cleared after the first group, and additional eggs will be hidden for the second group. Both groups will have the same experience with a special appearance made by the Easter Bunny to help with the egg hunt. It is important to remember that each group will need to leave the park at the end of their assigned time. Registration is required. To sign up, please email bunny@ci.everett.ma.us with your name and number of attendees in your party. Upon receipt, you will be emailed a confirmation email with a bunny image that will include your name, number of guests and group assignment.

Parlin School awarded grant from Science from Scientists T he Parlin School recently received a grant from Science from Scientists that provides every sixth grade student with free one-hour science lessons twice a month. Those students received science kits that enable them to participate, via Zoom, in hands-on experiments and lessons on topics such as the spread of infectious disease and the environmental impacts of oil spills. This program will continue for the remainder of the school year, even for students who return to school for in-person learning. Science from Scientists is an organization devoted to engaging students in STEM fields through exciting, informative and engaging lessons and programs designed by practicing scientists. Lesson topics incorporate requirements and guidance from the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as well as the Next Generation Science Standards, which “are K–12 Encore poker player scores $402K on royal flush science content standards… The NGSS were developed by states to improve science education for all students.” This Encore Boston Harbor patron, known only as Henry, recently won $402,188 on an incredibly rare royal flush.
