"We are heartbroken to share that Jason Robert McHenry, 50, passed away on November 19, 2020. Jason leaves behind 2 beautiful children, Connor, 11 and Anelie, 8, along with his wife of 14 years, Kristen.
Jason was a kind, gentle man with a bright smile and great sense of humor. He had a passion for cooking and was amazing at it. Above all, Jason loved his family and cherished being a dad.
This fundraiser is set up by friends to help support Kristen, Connor, and Anelie during this devastating time. While we cannot take away their sadness, we can help alleviate their financial burden and provide support during this heartbreaking time.
Thank you for any contribution you can make, we appreciate each and every one of you."

School Committee - Jan 12, 2021 - Meeting Recap |
"Governor Charlie Baker on Thursday signed a nearly $627 million economic development bill, but rejected a handful of measures in the sprawling package, including two designed to further protect tenants.Baker’s signature will put in motion hundreds of millions of state borrowing over the next five years, which officials say will help jumpstart a state economy battered by the COVID-19 pandemic.The package includes more than $100 million in bonding authority to help small businesses, 15 percent caps on third-party delivery fees imposed by the likes of Grubhub and DoorDash, and legislation Baker has pushed for years to ease housing-related zoning changes.The language, known as Housing Choice, will reduce the voting threshold from a two-thirds majority to a simple majority needed to pass a range of land-use issues in cities and towns. Baker has said the change will help spur much needed housing throughout the state."
