Thank you Superintendent Tutwiler for your unwavering commitment to the students, educators, and community that make up the Lynn Public Schools and for inspiring and challenging our entire City to pursue the LPS values of inclusiveness, shared responsibility, collaborative relationships, and inspiring lifelong learning by the nature of your transformative leadership and daily example.
Over the past 7 years, it has been such a privilege to become your friend and to work with you on the school committee. You are a role model and inspiration to not only me but all of Lynn.
We will miss you but I am confident that you have left LPS in a better place.

Thank you to everyone who attended Lynnside Out and made the festival extra special. Our community came together to meet with City departments, learn more about city-wide initiatives, and share their vision for Lynn.
A lot of hard work went into the planning of Lynnside Out, particularly with the Planning Department and the Creative Collective, and RAW Art Works.
We hope that with Lynnside Out, more residents feel welcome to visit City Hall and seek the resources they may need!

- Additional waste receptacles were added in parks and high-traffic areas and cameras were installed to monitor city parking lots
- Park clean-ups for the summer and fall seasons
- Prevention and awareness through increasing communication on social media about litter initiatives, as well as information about ticketing and towing during street sweeping
- Outreach efforts in Lynn Public Schools
