What I’m up to on Instagram

Calling all elementary school teachers, MassDOT’s annual “Name A Snowplow” Contest is now accepting entries. This contest gives classrooms the chance to help name a MassDOT snow plow for the 2024/2025 winter season and win school supplies for their classroom!📚❄️ Here in Massachusetts, we are proud to stand by and support our Veterans, not just on Veterans Day, but every day. This week I had the honor of attending events for two incredible programs that are directly impacting the lives of those who served year-round. Last evening I was proud to join the Westfield Police Commission to celebrate and recognize Chief Valliere's four decades of service to our community. Congratulations on your well deserved retirement! Happy Veterans Day! Earlier today the Westfield community came together to properly retire worn and tattered American flags with honor at the Westfield Sportsman Club. Yesterday the final beam was put in place at the Holyoke Veterans Home, a major milestone that moves our community closer to finally achieving a new state of the art facility that is befitting of the service and sacrifices of our Commonwealth's veterans.
