Dear Joey,
Awesome Gloucester held its Pitch Night at the O’Maley School Library Monday night. This month we took proposals for “making Gloucester more awesome” only from students there and received eleven. Our twenty trustees, who each chip in $50, voted to choose the top four ideas, and heard them pitched at the event. Even better, the Gloucester Education Foundation generously doubled our usual kitty, so when we voted again after hearing the presentations, the top two ideas were each funded with $1000, free and clear. The top vote getters were student initiatives to establish composting of food waste at the school, and another to support activities for kids with IEP’s during movement breaks.
This was one of those fun, exciting events that gave everyone who attended hope for the future. These kids and their ideas were extremely impressive and their presentations were articulate and well thought through.
Next month we’ll be back to taking proposals from all comers at awesomegloucester.org.
Thanks,
Greg
Good Morning Gloucester 
Thank you Greg! It was an awesome night! So proud of all these Gloucester Public School students. My son Peter is very appreciative that Awesome Gloucester has given him his friend Jisaiah the opportunity to help kids who need breaks during the day!
