Gloucester Superintendent Ben Lummis:
“It seems like in the last few years in Gloucester there’s been a shift with more immigrant families in town- are you seeing that in schools? Does it have any impact on the way the schools work?”
“Even in this tough year I keep hearing good things- school sports have kept functioning- the high school field house got renovated and basketball is starting! Tell me about some other good things that are happening”
“Gloucester kids have been in school since the beginning of the school year when it seems like all the surrounding towns haven’t been able to do that. How did you pull it off in Gloucester?”
What do you like about Gloucester and it’s people?

Here are 3 Great Reasons to Give the gift of Natural Soap this Holiday Season: #1 You’ll help encourage clean living!Each day, the average person slathers on countless toxic, chemical ingredients onto their bodies just by using commercial name brand soaps, lotions, and other routine skincare products.Commercial soaps can contain harmful chemicals, synthetic fragrances, alcohol, GMO oils, preservatives plus other “junk” ingredients that are known to damage & irritate the skin. Give natural gifts this year to encourage friends and family to be conscious of what they’re putting on their skin! #2 They make Wonderful stocking stuffers!Drift soaps smell amazing and are the perfect size for stocking stuffers! It’s not just any soap casually stuffed in a stocking. Your recipients will experience the difference with the soap’s thick lather & natural moisture barrier. Each bar of our soap is made with organic Shea butter, botanicals, essential oils, (found in some, but not all of our scents), and a blend of non-GMO plant based oils for a touch of moisture.
