What Is The Community Service Agency?
The Community Service Agency (CSA) is a community -based organization whose function is to facilitate access and coordination of care for youth with serious emotional disturbance who require or are already utilizing multiple services or child serving systems (e.g. child welfare, special education, juvenile justice, mental health).
The CSA uses the Wraparound process as a way to improve the lives of children with complex needs and their families. It is not a program or a service and is open to members with a Mass Health Behavioral Health insurance component. The key characteristics of the Wraparound process are that a plan is developed by a family -centered team, is individualized based on the strengths and culture of the child and their family, and is needs -based rather than service –driven.

What Is The Systems Of Care Committee?
Community Service Agency (CSA) and the Systems of Care Meeting (SOC) covers cities and towns in the Greater Lynn area: Lynn, Lynnfield, Nahant, Saugus and Swampscott.
The Systems of Care Committee is intended to support the Community Service Agency’s efforts in their local geographic area to establish and sustain collaborative partnerships among families, parent/family organizations, traditional and non – traditional service providers, community organizations, state agencies, faith – based groups, local schools, Mass Health and its contracted Managed Care Entities (MCEs), and other community stakeholders. The local Systems of Care Committee ensures that the Care Coordination of the Community Service Agency is in sync with other service delivery systems, with state agency services, and with informal helpers and community resources.
The Systems of Care Committee meets monthly to coordinate and integrate family voice into current community resources, to identify additional supports, and work together to offer a variety of choices to families without always having to recruit agency providers. At this time, we have over 500 members in our SOC email group that is distributed via constant contact twice a month. Please email Kyra at kdrescher@jri.org if you would like to be added.

Who Can Become A Member?
Membership in the local Systems of Care Committee is open to the public and should include, but is not limited to:

Parents/Caregivers
Grandparents
Extended Family Members
Transitional Aged Youth (ages 14-20)
Community Service Providers

Qigong Classes - Winter/Spring 2025
2025-04-08 10:00 - 11:00 | Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Lynn, 101 Forest Ave, Swampscott, MA, 01907, United States
Would you like to engage in a practice of joy, calm, and empowerment? Support your health and well-being by joining our Qigong classes on Tuesday mornings!
Classes will be held on Tuesdays, 10am-11am.
​Teacher-guided breathing exercises to optimize “Qi” circulation to regulate our mind and body’s movement and posture – providing a sense of joy and calm. Qigong is an old, developing discipline that combines breathing exercises, movement, self-massage, gong meditation, and healing postures to provide a comprehensive approach to self-healing exercise and meditation.
Is this for you? Whether you are new to Qigong, or have previous experience, you will enjoy this one-hour meditative exercise that will include qigong theory and philosophy, self-massage, Daoyin, Five-Animal Frolics, 8 Silk Brocade, 18 Forms, Six Healing Sounds, and gong meditation.
Some of the benefits of Qigong:
-promotes relaxation and good health
-improves balance and flexibility
-relieves stress and fatigue
-strengthens body and mind
What’s the difference between Qigong and Tai Chi? Both Tai Chi and Qigong are great forms of health and healing, but:
-Qigong is easy to learn, and it can be practiced at home regularly, while Tai Chi requires memorization of movements in sequence
-There are infinite numbers of Qigong styles that suit everyone’s level, while Tai Chi movements can be longer and more challenging
-Qigong exercises can be practiced while sitting, standing, or lying down, while Tai Chi is a continuous and moving meditation
Register HERE for Qigong unless you have taken a class with Rosie at UUCGL before.
Please try out the first class for free, and if you choose to continue you may pay at the next class. There is an advance fee of $10 per class for a series of 12 classes ($120) as a commitment to the series and a way to show that you value the teacher and the teachings. Partial and full financial waivers are available by request.

Open House | City Arts and Sciences Academy (CASA)
2025-04-01 15:30 - 17:00 | Lynn Public Schools – Welcome Center, 2 State Street, Lynn, 01902, United States
With the City Arts and Sciences Academy (CASA) set to open in the fall, there will be an open house event on April 1 to celebrate the new school.
The event will be held at Lynn Public Schools’ Eastern Bank building on Market Street from 3:30 to 5 p.m. It is open to CASA accepted students and caregivers, as well as all LPS students and families. It will feature performances by the LPS All-City Jazz Ensemble and Choir, an art installation, and an overview of the CASA program by Principal Christopher Norkun.
April 1 is Norkun’s first day as full-time principal of CASA. Since being appointed to the position in February, Norkun has been splitting his time between CASA and the Shoemaker School, where he has been serving as principal since the beginning of the school year.
CASA will be a STEAM school – science, technology, engineering, the arts and math – designed to prepare students for the rapidly evolving demands of the modern workforce. It will open at 33 North Common St. in the building that currently houses Fecteau-Leary Junior/Senior High School, occupying part of the building in 2025-26 and all of it in the fall of 2026. Fecteau-Leary will be moving to the Eastern Bank site on Market Street, with the therapeutic program relocating in the fall and the rest of the school in the fall of 2026.
CASA will open with approximately 100 students in both grades 6 and 9 and add two classes each year until it reaches its capacity of 700 as a grade 6-12 school.
According to its mission statement, “CASA inspires designers and artists to use creativity, critical thinking, and experimentation to imagine and cultivate a future vested in community.”
The concept for the STEAM academy was developed by LPS administrators and teachers in collaboration with experts from the Center of Arts and Scholarship and multiple community partners in the areas of the arts and marine science. During the design process, team members listened to students, parents, and former graduates who shared their experiences and thoughts.
Since being named principal, Norkun and other LPS staff have visited schools with similar programming in Malden, Boston and Maine, with a plan to go to Swampscott High.
While Lynn has a vocational high school in Lynn Vocational Technical Institute, students there pick a pathway and focus on that throughout their studies, while CASA will offer project-based learning, with students taking on different projects each trimester, according to Norkun. There will also be an emphasis on community partnerships with organizations such as RAW Arts and Girls Inc.
“We want students to be vested in the community when they graduate CASA,” Norkun said.
“CASA will integrate advanced curricula, hands-on learning, and real-world applications to engage students from diverse backgrounds,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Evonne S. Alvarez said. “We want to equip them with essential skills in critical thinking, problem solving and innovation that will prepare them for careers in high-growth fields.”
The conversion of 33 North Common St. to a fully enrolled STEAM Academy is being done in partnership by LPS and the City of Lynn. Alvarez, Mayor Jared C. Nicholson, the School Committee and the City Council have worked collaboratively to identify new space wherever possible in order to limit the need for the City to lease space for educational purposes.
“We are excited for the innovative opportunities CASA will provide,” Nicholson said. “This new STEAM academy will benefit generations of students and prepare them for a successful future.”
