M ayor Carlo DeMaria, along with a Boston Celtics representative, visited Everett resident Sandrick Jorcelin, 14, at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston recently. Sandrick was shot in a driveby shooting in Montreal, Canada, while on vacation with his family in early May. According to news sources, it was a tragic case of mistaken identity when a suspect opened fire when the family left a party. Sadly, his uncle was killed in the shooting. Jorcelin had to be airlifted to Boston for medical treatment. A Gofundme page was set up and approximately $100,000 (the goal) was raised to help cover medical costs. “Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!” Keverian School Drama Club presents first-ever musical: “Seussical Jr.” T he Keverian School Drama Club is proud to present their first-ever musical: “Seussical Jr.” The cherished Dr. Seuss books have been turned into a magical musical extravaganza from Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty and brought onstage featuring over 35 Keverian students in grades 5-8.
