the Environmental League of Massachusetts (ELM),
to discuss ELM’s budget priorities for the upcoming
fiscal year. On January 27, ELM released its annual
Green Budget, which outlines the organization’s
funding requests for the state’s parks, the Department
of Environmental Protection’s Hazardous Waste
Cleanup Program, the Department of Conservation

and various other environmental initiatives. Heather

they signed their letters during
a special signing ceremony at
LHS on Wednesday afternoon.
CJ had chosen Assumption
over Bentley College due to a
winning tradition and a family
atmosphere, similar to the four
years he had spent playing for
the Pioneers.
At Assumption, he plans on
playing linebacker alongside
former fellow Pioneer, D.J.
DeGeorge, who happens to be
the older brother of teammate
Cameron DeGeorge. He
will also be joining fellow
freshman, Peabody star
running back Doug Santos, so
expect an exciting four years
at Assumption.
C.J. will be studying business
at Assumption.
Cameron DeGeorge will be
heading off to the University
of Connecticut in the Fall.
The decision was not an easy
one as Cameron was almost
a Syracuse Orangeman but
a change of coaching staff
at the upstate New York
university led him to UConn
instead. Cameron had turned
down offers to play football for
Rutgers, North Carolina State,
Purdue, UMass and Wake
Forest.
According to DeGeorge,
one his biggest reasons for
UConn was its close proximity
to home.
Impressed during his visit
with the UConn campus, its
facilities and coaching staff,
DeGeorge believes he will be
playing on the offensive line
at UConn, but will apply his
talents anywhere he’s needed
Cameron said he’s still
undecided with his academic
focus as business, engineering
and health sciences are among
his interests.
Both C.J. and Cameron
enjoyed their time at Lynnfield
High, mentioning one particular
highlight: getting to play at
Gillette in the Super Bowl.
LHS Principal Robert Cleary
added that both were great
football players but more
importantly, “dynamite kids.”
Proud Dad, Chris looks on as CJ signs his commitment.
Supporting Cameron during his signing is mom, Lisa.
