Angel Bins Shoe Drive hit 900 pairs!!!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

The GHS class of 2023 student council had 2 pallets of shoes picked up yesterday, ending the 3-month long collection of used sneakers and cleats.  The students were able to collect 900 pairs of shoes that are currently on their way to Los Angeles where they will be cleaned and shipped out to help stimulate economies in other countries.

The kids did a great job, but we couldn’t have accomplished this goal without the Gloucester Public Schools and the community support!
We thank you and appreciate your donations!

Speaking of lobsters, heard Senator Tarr on BPR radio this AM

Posted on by Catherine

Senator Tarr sounded great on the radio this morning. Spoke briefly about lobster fishery, Right Whales, and patrol boats. I believe I was listening to Boston radio 89.7, June 4 2021 (Was going to share the audio link if I found it- haven’t yet! )

One day in – new Jeks One (lobster?) mural on Harbor Village apartment building #GloucesterMA

Posted on by Catherine

This morning feeling an intricate hyperrealist & abstract nocturne, sort of mutant sci-fi, toxic-regal, lobster-crustacean-hybrid clone, with a hint of greed. A bit Alexis Rockman vibe. You?

Look up when you’re downtown!

GLOUCESTER , MASS. – Gloucester Education Foundation has made a gift of $7,500 to the GHS class of 2021 to support the production costs of Senior Award Night, Senior Prom and Graduation.

“This grant is a departure from the type of projects that GEF normally funds in our schools,” said Aria McElhenny, GEF’s Executive Director, “but this year has been anything but normal, and thanks to our generous community, GEF can be flexible and step up to provide this one-time support where it is needed most. We’re so proud of these kids and the remarkable resilience and strength they’ve shown this past year. They deserve to be celebrated.”

Due to COVID-19 restrictions in the schools this year, opportunities for students to fundraise were limited. According to Dan Fleury, GHS Senior class advisor, the students’ best efforts fell short:
“They raised 2/3 of their goal, but still faced a shortfall. GEF’s…
