St. Ann School group photo

Posted on by Matthew Green

Everyone is sad to see St. Ann’s School go.  Last week I took a series of final group photos.  The children were squirmy in the hot sun, so there’s no one photo where they all are smiling and looking at the camera. I hopped into one of photos, since it was my last week at St. Ann’s too (albeit the church in my case, not the school)!

Special thanks to all the people who kept the school alive for so many years – the parents, teachers, administration, donors, etc.

Please comment if you have good memories of this school that you’d like to share! But let’s not get into the “blame game” about why it is closing. The school board, the principal (Michele Butler), and everyone involved have done whatever they could to avoid this situation. Let’s focus on the positive, and on thanking the hard work of all the people who made the school the special place it was.

Hi Joey,
I am writing on behalf of the Magnolia Library and Community Center. Could you let your readers know that we are currently taking registrations for our our 36th annual art show to be held on July 12th-14th. We take paintings, photography, sculpture and mixed media. This is a well attended event and a great way for artists to display their work.

‘June Artist Gallery at Lone Gull Coffee House Wings & Waves . Photo Art by Gloucester photographer, Michael Chamness features birds and scenery from beautiful Cape Ann.

My personal favorites are the baby swan- ‘Swannabe’ and Eastern Point Light and Breakwater!

Swan Symbolism: Animals were thought to be ‘power totems’ and messengers in Native American Folklore and Greek/Egyptian Mythology. The swan is thought to bear messages of love and relationships. They pair for a lifetime. When the swan glides upon the waters of our awareness, it might be a symbol of love, and a reminder of the blessings found in our relationships. ‘Swanabee’ was photographed in the pond across from Pebble Beach Rockport, MA. E.J. or Joey- I think this is Henry’s Pond. Can you confirm?

These photos will be on display the month of June. Let me know your favorite! Stop by for a cup of tea or iced coffee or one of Mary Ellen’s delicious pastries while enjoying the familiar and beautiful scenes of Cape Ann!’

Thanks  Joey!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
