Backyard Visit From Doe and Fawn

A beautiful doe and its fawn visited our backyard recently. It’s been quite a while since we have seen a fawn in our immediate neighborhood so this was a special treat. They spent a fair amount of time hanging around and it reminded me of the scene in Bambi where the mother cautiously introduces Bambi to the meadow. There were definitely some lessons being shared that late afternoon! For additional story details and images, please check out Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook link here. It was a special opportunity to observe wildlife.

GEFโ€™s FY26 Impact Report, โ€œLet Sparks Fly!โ€, is here!

 ~ GLOUCESTEREDUCATIONFOUNDATION

Jun 9

The Gloucester Education Foundation (GEF) is thrilled to share our FY2026 Impact Report with the community! It celebrates 20 years of GEF, from the early days to today, with a focus on what your support made possible this year, including:

  • launching the GHS Medical Assisting program and Oโ€™Maley Courtyard project;
  • piloting a Drone Operator Course and LEGO science kits; and
  • sustaining beloved programs like band, theater, and Oโ€™Maley Academy.

Weโ€™re especially impressed with that incredible cover photo by GHS sophomore Shane Widtfeldt, taken in the GHS Auto Shop. Literal sparks were flying as fellow sophomore Sam Watts did some welding!

We hope you enjoy the report, and that it inspires you to support our Spring AppealEvery gift will help fund programs in Gloucester Schools next fall: programs educators dream up, students adore, and families count on.

Thank you!

One Week Away: Free Cape Ann Jewish Cultural Festival Set to Fill Stage Fort Park with Music, Culture, and Family Fun

Community celebration on June 14 invites the North Shore to experience Jewish pride, joy, food, music, art, and connection

Gloucester, MA โ€” In just one week, Stage Fort Park will come alive with Jewish music, culture, food, art, and family fun as the Cape Ann Jewish Cultural Festival returns to Gloucester on Sunday, June 14, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

The festival is free, family-friendly, and open to the entire community, welcoming people of all backgrounds from Cape Ann, and across the North Shore.

Hosted by Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Ann, the festival offers a joyful and welcoming way to experience Jewish culture in the heart of Cape Ann. Guests will enjoy live klezmer music, free childrenโ€™s activities, artists and vendors, and kosher food available for purchase.

More than just a festival, organizers say the event is meant to be a public celebration of connection, belonging, and Jewish joy.

โ€œAt a time when Jewish identity is so often spoken about in the context of challenges, this festival offers something different,โ€ said Rabbi Avremi Raichik, director of Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Ann. โ€œIt is a chance to celebrate Jewish life openly, proudly, and joyfully through music, food, art, family, and community.โ€

The Cape Ann Jewish Cultural Festival was created to bring people together and share the richness of Jewish culture with the broader community. The event is designed for all ages, whether attendees come for the music, the food, the kidsโ€™ activities, the vendors, or simply to enjoy an uplifting afternoon by the Gloucester waterfront.

โ€œThis is not only for the Jewish community,โ€ Rabbi Raichik said. โ€œIt is for neighbors, families, friends, and anyone who wants to be part of a warm, meaningful, and joyful community celebration.โ€

Organizers are encouraging attendees to reserve free tickets in advance so they can prepare for the crowd.

Event Details:
What: Cape Ann Jewish Cultural Festival
When: Sunday, June 14, 1:00โ€“3:00 p.m.
Where: Stage Fort Park, Gloucester, MA

Join the Cast and Crew to bring Alice’s Magical Adventures in Wonderland to life

THE CAPE ANN YMCA SUMMER PERFORMANCE CAMP
JULY 6 – JULY 31


PERFORMANCES: July 30 & July 31 on Stage at the Cape Ann YMCA @ CAY

News from Heidi Dallin:

The 2026 Cape Ann YMCA Performance Camp runs from July 6th through July 31st, culminating in two public performances of the fresh new musical adaptation of Alice in Wonderland JR outside on the turf at the Cape Ann YMCA . The camp meets Monday – Friday from 9am to 4pm at the Rockport Teen Center, 32 Pooles Lane, Rockport. MA. The Cape Ann YMCA Summer Performance Camp welcomes participants ages 6-17 of all experience levels and introduces them to the basics of professional theatre. Students work alongside theatre professionals in acting, music, dance, stage management, and scenic, prop and costume design while building confidence, communication and teamwork skills.

The 2026 Performance Camp brings to life Alice’s travels through the curious world of Wonderland. In this charming updated retelling of the classic Lewis Carroll stories, Alice encounters the ever-tardy White Rabbit; 3 grinning Cheshire Cats; a cool Caterpillar; the wacky Mad Hatter; Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee; a temperamental Queen; the King, her henpecked Husband; and many more beloved Wonderland characters.

This new musical adaptation includes beloved Disney songsโ€””Iโ€™m Late,โ€ โ€œThe Unbirthday Song,โ€ and โ€œPainting the Roses Redโ€โ€”as well as music from the 2010 Tim Burton live-action film.

Whether this is your first experience with Alice or your hundredth, youโ€™ll lose your head (and your heart) for this new Alice in Wonderland JR.

A Spring Visit To Russell Orchards

We found that one of our favorite spots has re-opened for the season so we stopped by Russell Orchards in Ipswich to see what was what. As usual, their offerings of baked goods, fresh in season fruits, ice cream, wine and more kept us happily entertained. The staff is unfailingly friendly and helpful. It’s a pleasure to stop by there several times throughout the season.
