City offers first ESL classes

  On Saturday, April 16, Mayor Carlo DeMaria, in collaboration with the Everett Adult Learning Center and Parlin Memorial Library, held the first free class to teach English as a second language. Students at the program began to learn English and brought their children to participate in fun activities, such as creating and coloring pictures. When the class finished, the children were surprised with an Easter egg hunt outside of the library. There were plenty of eggs filled with chocolate for the children to find.

  The City of Everett would like to thank the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners for awarding the grant funding to make this class possible and remain free to participants.
