EHS Artists Showcase Work at the State House

‘Envision’ Exhibit Launched on Monday, April 8th

A group of talented Everett High School (EHS) artists were featured at a special exhibition inside the Massachusetts State House. Called “Envision,” the exhibition showcased a wide range of mediums and artistic visions.

Thanks to State Senator Sal DiDomenico for extending the invitation to our students, and to art teachers Briana Pierce and Josephine Dougan for coordinating the effort at EHS.

The works on display ranged from ethereal spirit animal paintings to observational still-life paintings, landscapes, crochet tapestry, imaginative paintings, three-dimensional sculptures, and hand-stitched embroidery.

Being Senator DiDomenico

Does it get any better than being the number 2 man in charge of the Massachusetts State Senate for Senator Sal DiDomenico?

No. It doesn’t really get any better than that unless he becomes the State Senate President – and what a day that will be for DiDomenico.

That day is coming.

DiDomenico’s transparent and completely above the board support for the professional soccer stadium to locate in Everett is right now the capstone of his leadership effort for this community.

Sal DiDomenico’s rising star

When Senator Sal DiDomenico started out many years ago on a political career, not many could have imagined how high he would rise.

After years of paying close attention to creating a place for himself on Beacon Hill, he has become one of the influential leaders in the Senate and might very likely become the next Senate president.

In a political world where stars are rising and where others are heading in the oppo- site direction, DiDomenico’s place in the Senate appears to be cemented in an upward trajectory– although anything can change in politics and often does.

The DiDomenico Foundation’s pre St. Patrick’s Day gala attracted a huge crowd, including the governor, the congresswoman, the mayor of Boston, and a legion of his Everett followers.
