COMMUNITY | Schools Shrewsbury High mascot study group to have increased participants By Melanie Petrucci Senior Community Reporter SHREWSBURY - Dr. Joseph Sawyer, superintendent of Shrewsbury Public Schools, announced in his report at the Dec. 16 School Committee meeting that he had received over 130 applicants for the Shrewsbury
High School (SHS) Mascot Ad Hoc Study Group. Because of the increased interest, he noted he was “compelled” to increase each category of the committee to eight members. The School Committee had decided to form the study group after a petition was submitted to the committee asking that
SHS drop the longtime mascot, “The Colonial.” Current and former students, as well as many residents, have shared their opinions, pro and con, with the officials over the past month. “We are actually going to have eight slots each for students, faculty, staff and administration, parents and alumni so

We are actually going to have eight slots each for students, faculty, staff and administration, parents and alumni so there will be a large committee … we thought that was important. Dr. Joseph Sawyer Superintendent of Shrewsbury Public Schools
there will be a large committee but given the number of people who are interested and to have a variety of folks with different backgrounds…we thought that was important,” Sawyer stated. He hopes that by the end of the week he will be able to send notices to those not selected but he stressed that they would have an opportunity to share their thoughts and feedback
with the study group. Those selected to serve will be conducting background research through the end of the month of December and will begin meeting in January. “[Principal Todd] Bazydlo and I have worked out a schedule to be able to bring a recommendation to the School Committee in March,” Sawyer added.
Holiday Assabet Student Council members Codey Daly of Marlborough and Kelsey True of Hudson take a brief break from stocking shelves at a local food pantry.
MARLBOROUGH - Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School’s Student Council recently sponsored a food drive. Thanks to the generosity of the Assabet staff, students, and the surrounding community, they were able to fill five cars and two pickup trucks full of food. Additionally, the students raised just over $450 in cash donations. They were then able to stock the shelves at pantries in Hudson, Marlborough, Clinton, and Berlin.
