This morning the Gloucester Education Foundation took a group of supporters to see the new Gloucester High School Medical Assisting program, led by teacher Grace Ferrara and Vocational Coordinator Brenda Waslick with support from three students.

One of the visitors, a Nurse Practitioner at Addison Gilbert, sent us this message right after: “Grace and the program are incredible!! It’s truly fantastic; she has thought of everything. I came back to work and was telling some staff and one person immediately said “I wish they had that when I was at GHS!””

Music to our ears!

Thank you to Grace, Brenda and the students for the tour, to all of the visitors who came to see the program, and especially to Jim and Chris Barker of the JMR Barker Foundation for their advocacy and significant financial support for this new vocational track.

Here’s some additional information about the program from GEF’s upcoming FY26 Impact Report, out next week!

Learning Horses From the Ground Up: Why the Foundation Matters

There’s something magical about horses that draws people in almost instantly. Their beauty, strength, sensitivity, and quiet intelligence leave a lasting impression. But truly learning about horses goes far beyond riding lessons or memorizing tack names. The deepest understanding begins with the foundation — learning how horses think, communicate, and experience the world around them.

And that’s where the real connection begins.

Horses Speak a Different Language

Horses are incredibly intuitive animals. Long before humans domesticated them, they survived by reading energy, movement, and subtle changes in their environment. They communicate mostly through body language — a flick of an ear, a shift in posture, the softness in an eye.

When people begin learning horses in a foundational way, they start to notice these small details. They learn that horses are constantly communicating, and that trust is built quietly through consistency, patience, and presence.

It becomes less about “controlling” a horse and more about creating a relationship.

The Foundation Starts on the Ground

One of the most overlooked parts of horse education is groundwork — simply spending time with horses before ever stepping into a saddle. Grooming, leading, observing herd behavior, understanding boundaries, and learning safe handling skills all create the framework for a confident and respectful partnership.

May 27, 2026 ~ Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute ~ 

Free community lecture on Tuesday, June 16th at Hammond Castle Museum

Join GMGI in partnership with Ocean Alliance to understand more about the secrets whale blow can tell us about the ocean.

Whales are considered sentinel species — their health offers an early warning about the condition of ocean ecosystems. Yet today, one in four cetacean species is vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered.

Join Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute (GMGI) to learn about its eight-year collaboration with Ocean Alliance (OA), a Gloucester-based nonprofit pioneering drone technology for marine mammal science. Together, GMGI and OA are using whale exhalant, or blow, collected with SnotBot®, an aptly-named drone used for noninvasive sample collection, to study whale respiratory microbiomes across multiple species and oceans. This research is building the foundation needed to track changes in the health status of whales and their ocean ecosystem over time.

Tuesday, June 16th at Hammond Castle Museum

Doors for this event open at 5:30pm, with the lecture beginning promptly at 6:00pm.
