A Message For Lynnfield High School Graduates

With high school graduation upon us, there is much to celebrate about the talents and accomplishments of each individual senior at Lynnfield High School. With the announcement of the phased in plan to open up businesses, the advent of warm weather, and the excitement of possibly being able to get outdoors, we encourage you to plan your celebrations according.

Graduation is typically a time for backyard parties, family celebrations, and get-togethers with friends. Although young people may crave this social connectedness, it is important to remember our number one goal as a community is to protect the bright futures of our youth. Members of the Class of 2020 have come so far, grown so fast, and accomplished so much.

A Healthy Lynnfield, Lynnfield High School administrators, and Lynnfield Police Department encourage parents to follow the guidelines put forth by Governor Baker in planning your celebrations. Additionally, we would like to remind you that the Massachusetts Social Host Law spells out that it is illegal to furnish alcohol to minors and that it is our collective responsibility to keep kids safe. This is a wonderful time to keep your parent-to-parent connections strong. It is important that we support each other during these times.

Be creative in the ways you celebrate Lynnfield youth! Keep groups small and wear masks. Get take out and support local businesses. Your teens will remember the kindness, the uniqueness of the situation and the sense of a strong community caring for them. So many have worked so hard to make Graduation 2020 a memorable, positive, and healthy experience for all seniors. Let’s work together to make sure Lynnfield kids stay safe.

Wishing the Class of 2020 safe and healthy futures!

Phil Crawford, Chairman, Healthy Lynnfield
