By Linda E. Saris and Glenn Burns
Perhaps you have raised children and, like most parents, helped them with homework and surrounded them with enriching extracurricular opportunities and lots of wanted (and unwanted) advice. Or perhaps you are working, studying or retired and have an interest in passing down you expertise to the next generation.
As students yourselves you knew which teachers were great – the ones that sent home interesting projects – the ones that stimulated you (or your child) to think and explore new ideas.
So now is your chance to bring out your inner teacher and translate your skills and experience as a professional (or parent) or a hobbyist with a particular expertise and get a group of middle schools excited to learn more.
LEAP for Education and the Salem Public Schools are partnering to provide all the 6th and 7th

Saturday night with Chelsea Berry on the Rooftop!
Saturday night in Gloucester was a terrific time for a large group of Cape Ann residents that brought the Evening with Chelsea Berry at the Love Cape Ann Auction.
The rooftop party was held at the beautiful home of Catherine Schlichte and Shawn Henry. WOW, what a night, the beautiful voice of Chelsea Berry, terrific views, great food and beverage and a terrific group of people. Thank you Catherine and Shawn and especially Kerry McKenna at the Cape Ann Chamber Of Commerce for making it all possible.

PHOTOS FROM GLOUCESTER’S SEA TO SUPPER CELEBRATION HONORING ANGELA SANFILIPPO
The Sea to Supper celebration was a beautiful event for a beautiful lady who has advocated for Gloucester and New England fishermen and their families her entire adult life, beginning when she became the young bride of a fisherman. An example of just one of many of Angela’s accomplishments is that if you are a Gloucester resident and have ever needed health insurance assistance, you can thank Angela for the groundbreaking work she achieved in securing health insurance for the families of fishermen and the broader Gloucester community.
Manny’s photos are terrific and here a few more.
