GHS Impaired Driving Event
Shaun Goulart submits-
GHS Impaired Driving Event (5/19/15)
Gloucester High School held its second annual “Impaired Driving Event” on Tuesday May 19th. The event brought awareness to the dangers of drinking and driving for the senior class, who are entering a celebratory time of year, as prom and graduation are only a couple weeks away.
Under the advisement of their health teacher and event coordinator, Rosa Francis, the freshman students researched, assembled, and illustrated facts about teen drinking and driving; making them the experts on the topic. GHS was fortunate to have the MA state police, traffic division, come with the Impaired Driving Simulators, Rollover Simulator and other educational material which the senior student body was encouraged to participate in.
In addition, the Gloucester Police Department performed field sobriety tests on students, and demonstrations using the K-9 unit.
This event would not have been possible without the dedication and support from donors: Gloucester Police Department, Nicastro’s Driving School, West End Sweets, Bank Gloucester, Mike Perreault, Shaun Goulart, Lt. Mike Gossom, Officers Mike Scola, Pete Sutera, Joe Parady, and Chris Genovese, GHS Film Club students Jenna Taorimina and Nate Young, and school adjustment councilor Amy Kamm.
Below is the link to the film produced by the GHS Film Club for the event:

Nichole’s Picks for 5/23 and 5/24

They’re open, they’re open. Thatcher and Finn have been asking me for weeks when Maritime Gloucester will be opening for the season and I can finally tell them…and you…that their aquarium and exhibits are opening for the season on May 23rd!
Check out Maritime Gloucester HERE!
Pick #2
The Newburyport Spring Festival! Read all about it HERE
Held Sunday & Monday of Memorial Day Weekend. Celebrate the season in downtown Newburyport! Enjoy great live music, art, fine crafts, and food from Newburyport’s best restaurants.
Pick #3
This is always a fantastic place to spend the day, but I’m super intrigued by a new exhibit that they have on display and I can’t wait to go see it.
Read about the exhibit here: Stickwork: Patrick Dougherty
Check out more of the artist’s incredible work here!
Patrick Dougherty bends, weaves and flexes saplings into architectural sculptures that dynamically relate to the landscape and built environment around them. Over the last 30 years, he has created more than 250 works throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Constructed from saplings collected by area volunteers, the natural structure will provide dramatic counterpoint to the highly finished wood-frame Crowninshield-Bentley House that dates to the early 18th century. This is the first time PEM has commissioned an outdoor sculptural installation.

Host an International Student This Summer!
Eastern Point Day School, situated above Niles Beach on Gloucester’s Back Shore, will once again host summer school for international students. These students range in age from 8 to 14 and are primarily from Spain.
The program runs from June 26th to July 24th.
We are looking for families in the Cape Ann area who would enjoy the adventure and cultural experience of hosting one of these children. The students attend camp at Eastern Point Day School from 9 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday with lunch is included. The host family will need to provide transportation to and from camp. The rest of the time is “family time” where you share your daily routine and, if you choose, any excursions showing what beautiful Cape Ann and New England have to offer. In addition to experiencing the fun and fulfillment that comes from hosting an international student, you will receive a $500 stipend per child.
Eastern Point Day School also offers a Summer Adventures program for children entering grades K through 8. The program runs for 4 weeks with weekly themes offering a variety of experiences for children. These children will also enjoy the opportunity to spend part of their day with the international students. For those families hosting an international student, a 25% discount off of the Summer Adventures program cost is offered. Please visit www.easternpointdayschool.org for details.
If you love sharing your home and enriching your family’s world, please consider becoming a host family. The children and parents of families who have hosted over the past summers always look forward to another summer of making new memories and friends. For those interested, please contact our coordinator, Barbara Baumer at 617-413-8592 or via email at bbbaumer@mac.com. She will be happy to answer any questions and provide further details about hosting an international student.
