THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, June 11, 2021 Page 3 Froio will not seek reelection “T oday is both a happy and sad day for me. I have dedicated my career, which spans more than 45 years, to educating our youth, serving as both an educator and a School Committee Member in the Malden School System. After much thought and consideration, I have decided not to seek re-election to the Malden School Committee. I feel that it is time for me to move on and give someone else the opportunity to represent the residents of Ward 8. Since my term does not end until January 2022, I will continue to devote all my energies into making the Malden School System better for all students. At this time I want to thank the residents of Ward 8 for having the confidence in me to serve as their representative on the Malden School Committee for the past 14 years. Together we worked on many importMalden Catholic celebrates 86th Commencement O n May 15, Malden Catholic High School celebrated the 86th Commencement ceremony for the Class of 2021.

We understand that COVID-19 is not gone, and we will be taking additional steps to ensure the health and safety of our youths and that this will be our first priority. To ensure proper social distancing and the safety of our youths, we will be conducting two separate academy weeks. Both weeks will be identical. The first week will be July 12 through July 16 and the second week will be July 19 through July 23. The program is designed for students entering the fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth grade this fall. The JPA will begin promptly at 9 a.m. and end at approximately 3 p.m. each day. A limited number of cadets will be accepted to the week-long program. You must be sure you can attend during these dates before submitting an application. If a cadet fails to comply with the rules of the JPA or fails to cooperate with fellow cadets or staff, the cadet will be immediately removed from the program. The JPA will feature a variety of training situations in which all cadets will be required to participate. The JPA will include, but not be limited to, classroom instruction, hands-on police tactics training, physical training and travel days to special events. An officer will contact you to confirm the child’s acceptance into the program. Applications can be found on the Malden Police website. Anyone with questions or concerns is urged to contact Detective Renee Kelley with any questions or concerns at 781397-7171 ext. 1203 or at rkelley@maldenpd.com. a prayer by Malden Catholic’s Director of Mission Integration, Brother Thomas Puccio, followed by a presentation by Malden Catholic salutatorian Aaron Babu of Wilmington.
