Page 24 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 2021 ~ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ~ EHS Student Advisory Council appeals to City Council Dear Esteemed Members of the Everett City Council: Please allow me to introduce myself on the behalf of Everett High School’s Student Advisory Council. We are here to promote student voice, choice and opportunities. We believe that a financial commitment to the students at Everett High School is a moral commitment because the students will eventually become future contributors to the economic elevation of the city, the torch bearers of equitable practices and the advocates for diversity. As we move into the next school year, we would like the School Committee and city of Everett to commit to a long term plan dedicated to the students of Everett. This plan should focus on ensuring that a variety of equitable opportunities are presented to all students across our district, positive culture diversity as well prioritizing the needs of students both academically and social/ emotionally with a deeper emphasis on college and career placement. We will be adding new members this incoming school year, to make our council more efficient. As we further beat back COVID, we look forward to working with you live in person to the betterment of the entire school community. We thank you all of your time and efforts in helping us all move forward collectively and we hope that this work may continue beyond its given measures. Sincerely, Dyna Louis EHS Student Advisory Board Member Student Representative Ex Officio School Committee Member Crimson Tide Pop Warner says thank you to Mayor DeMaria Dear Editor: The Everett Crimson Tide Pop Warner would like to thank Mayor Carlo DeMaria for helping in getting our first spring football season off to a great start. Would also like to thank the City Service and Maintenance Facility Department for all the hard work they did for us throughout the season. Without guys like this, our season would never be able to take place. We would also like to thank the coaches and board members that were instrumental in making this happen for these kids. We entered this league knowing that we were going to be playing All-Star teams and it would be a little more difficult than what we were used to. But as always, our Everett boys rose to the occasion with all four teams finishing in the playoffs. Last week, our two older teams played in the semifinals, our U14 team was defeated and our U12 team will be playing in the finals this Saturday in Lynn at the Manning Bowl. This group plays iron man football with only 18 boys on the roster. This group led by the Caffarella staff has gone far and above what we expected from such a small group but as always, Everett did not disappoint by squeaking out an exciting win over the highly-favored Silverbacks who, earlier in the year, beat Everett 20-0. In all my years, I’ve never seen a group fight so hard against a bigger and more experienced opponent, but they prevailed in a 14-12 nail biter that went right down to the last minute. So again, thank you Mr. Mayor and thank you Jerry Navarra, Kevin Noonan, Scott Martinelli and Anthony Ferrante. You guys were great this year as always. Thank you from the Crimson Tide Board. Sincerely, Chuck Leo Everett Crimson Tide Pop Warner
