BRAINTREE, MA More than 100 people gathered outside Braintree Town Hall on Thursday afternoon to protest a proposed school budget that would cut dozens of teacher s jobs.
The protest saw parents, students and educators, calling for Mayor Charles Kokoros to use more of the town s coronavirus pandemic relief money and rainy day funds to save 28 teacher jobs, including eight reading and math specialists at the elementary school level. Protestors held signs reading Dear Mayor: You can make this rainy day go away and Worst Teacher Appreciation Week ever. Some even carried umbrellas as symbolism for their demands to use rainy day funds to prevent teacher cuts.
The Lock Out Cancer campaign will start on May 1 for the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation and one of their ambassadors doesn’t hold back on the reality of her fight with cancer. “There’s a stigma out there that only older people can get it,” says Tawnya Jacob, who is just 28 years old. In March 2020 she was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer. “We caught it early,” she says. After her husband noticed a strange lump on her right breast. After 16 rounds of chemo over 22 weeks at the Windsor Cancer Centre, Jacob then underwent a double mastectomy in September 2020. “I’ll be honest. I was very terrified to have that part of me taken away,” says Jacob.
