On April 14th, Next Wave/Full Circle High School Principal Margaret DePasquale accompanied Full Circle female students to the Empowering Girls Conference “I’m Worth More,” sponsored by Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and the Middlesex Partnerships for Youth. The event was held at Nashoba Valley Technical High School in Westford, Mass.

This year’s conference focused on a variety of confidence-building and empowering topics, bringing together high school students from across the state to hear from compelling speakers and learn through interactive presentations. The topics offered at the 2015 conference included Paving Your Own Path, The Power of Positivity, Recognizing Healthy Relationships, Healthy Inside and Out, and Girls Empowering Girls.

Full Circle students were impressed to learn that District Attorney Ryan is from Somerville and were excited to have the opportunity to meet her and take a photo with her.  To learn more about this and other events and services offered by the Middlesex Partnerships for Youth, visit www.middlesexpartnershipsforyouth.com.
