On Tuesday evening, March 22 at 7 o’clock, Awesome Gloucester will team up with the Gloucester Education Foundation to award two $1000 micro-grants to student groups with innovative ideas on how to make their community more awesome. The following four students groups will pitch their ideas to a panel of judges and members of the community:
Spring Car Maintenance: The GHS Automotive Shop would like to start a program to provide Senior Citizens and Veterans free car maintenance in the spring (e.g., wider blade replacement, oil changes, tire checks).
Fruit for the Future: High School students would like to purchase apple tree seedlings to plant at all local public schools.
Library Commons Renovations: High School students would like to renovate the school library, making it a more creative, student-friendly atmosphere.
Spring Clean Up: The NHS and Student Council would like to purchase and plant flowers around the school campus as a component of their annual spring clean-up initiative.
Two winners will be awarded $1,000 in cash, on the spot, with no strings attached. Pitch Night will take place in the GHS cafeteria and is open to the public.
This month proposals were accepted only from GHS students, normally the Gloucester chapter of the Awesome Foundation solicits proposals from the entire community and chooses the top ideas to attend a public Pitch Night on the evening of the third Monday. Submitters make their case before the 20 local trustees who have each donated $50 toward the monthly award. The top vote getters walk away with $1000 in cash. Proposals to make Gloucester more awesome can be made at Awesome Gloucester.
