Hello, Lowell Families!

I’m Danielle (Bergeron) McFadden, a proud single mom to Zoe (11), Landry (9) and Milo (8) — two of whom attend Pawtucketville Memorial Elementary School. Balancing drop-offs, PTO meetings and homework gives me a firsthand look at what’s working in our schools — and what needs improvement.

Born and raised in Lowell, I’m a Lowell High grad turned UMass Lowell alum with a Master’s in Community Social Psychology. Since 2011, I’ve served as President & CEO of the Greater Lowell Chamber of Commerce, proudly supporting our local businesses and economic growth.

You might know me from Chamber Chat on WCAP or Inside Lowell, where I love highlighting all things great about our city. I’ve also served as Pawtucketville PTO President, on the school site council and the principal screening team — all roles that deepened my commitment to our schools.

As a parent, I’ve navigated both special education and mental health services, and I’m passionate about making sure every student gets the support they need to succeed.

I’m running for Lowell School Committee to help build schools where every child thrives and every family feels heard. I’d love to hear your ideas! Catch me at pick-up, at a local event or email me at daniellemcfaddenforlowell@gmail.com.

Let’s make our Lowell schools the best they can be — together!
