LOWELL The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur founded St. Patrick School and Education Center in 1852 to educate the children of poor immigrants working in Lowell's mills. Although the order no longer works there, the school's teachers still strive to maintain their spirit of service, diversity, and community.

WESTFORD A love of animals has led Sabrina McLaughlin of Westford, a senior at Nashoba Valley Technical High School, to study animal sciences and veterinary assisting.
As part of a requirement to create a project tying in with her shop, McLaughlin is collecting items for the Lowell Humane Society, and MSPCA at Nevins Farm in Methuen.
The Nashoba Tech school district, based in Westford, serves Chelmsford, Westford, Littleton, Ayer, Pepperell, Shirley and Townsend.
McLaughlin recently spoke about her project, and how to help.
