Both science teachers at O’Maley innovation middle school. Created a go fund me to help cover supplies so that the teachers can keep making shields if you want to include the link anywhere: charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/schools-makingfaceshields
How did this project get started?
How many facilities have you been able to help so far?
How many shields do you envision producing?
Who are the volunteers for the project?
Where does the funding come from?
How does Gloucester have so much amazing equipment?
How can the community/others help this initiative?
Have you ever done anything like this on this scale before?
Have you ever had Rolled Ice Cream? Here’s your chance….and, right in your own yard! Reach out to How We Roll Coast to Coast. Friends of ours had plans to get this new business venture up and running this summer, but as we’ve all found ourselves at home and in need of fun surprises…especially on special days like birthdays…they have started to take reservations early. I can not wait to see how they roll when they are in full swing in the months to come, but for now…with an awesome brand new quick freeze ice cream machine and all the supplies and fixings on hand, they will book a visit right to your driveway for a quick treat or a special surprise delivery.
They stopped by our house the other day and served up some super yummy strawberry and oreo ice cream treats. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I can tell you that it was REALLY creamy and delicious. This will be such a great business when summer is in full swing at fairs, festivals, events, block parties and more….but for now, equally as important, it was such a ray of sunshine for my boys who are stuck at home.
If you like ice cream and are looking for a little at-home-pick-me-up reach out to How We Roll Coast to Coast (formerly from the West Coast and now living on the East Coast) on their new Facebook page and book a time for them to come to your driveway.
Gloucester Education Foundation has organized an effort to manufacture over 50 face shields per day using 3-D printers at Gloucester High School and O’Maley Innovation Middle School to protect front line workers against the coronavirus. The effort began on Friday night, with teachers running 40 printers nearly nonstop through the weekend to create the personal protective equipment for front line workers.
“This is another example of our wonderful Gloucester community coming together during this time of crisis.” said Aria McElhenny, executive director of Gloucester Education Foundation. “All of us want to help our friends and neighbors on the front lines and this project is giving us that opportunity.”
The shields are being printed and assembled at O’Maley and Gloucester High School by teachers wearing protective face masks and practicing safe social distancing. The teachers include middle school Science teachers David Brown and Amy Donnelly, high school Engineering teachers Kurt Lichtenwald and John Barry, and high school Makerspace Coordinator Timothy Quinn.
The 3-D printer labs at both schools have been rooted in community collaboration from the start. The O’Maley 3-D printer lab was created during a weekend-long “make-a-thon” in 2014, when local volunteers built 24 printers. At Gloucester High School, the 3-D printer lab is part of the Makerspace, which gives students and community members the opportunity to work on state of the art equipment including 3-D printers, a water laser cutter, a circuit printer, robotic arms, dry laser cutter, and other industry-grade tools and equipment used in design and manufacturing.
Funding for both came from Gloucester Education Foundation thanks to generous donors including the Applied Materials Foundation, JMR Barker Foundation, and local philanthropists John and Mollie Byrnes, Richard Weiss and Barbara McLaughlin, and Joe and Maggie Rosa.
Gloucester Education Foundation drives innovation, encourages creativity, expands student opportunities and empowers educators to strengthen teaching and learning in the Gloucester Public School District. Since it was established in 2005, Gloucester Education Foundation has raised more than $8 million to fund programs in the Gloucester Public Schools.

During the depression Roger Bason, a Gloucester millionaire, philanthropist and founder of Babson College paid tribute to his Dogtown roots by hiring 35 unemployed Finish stone cutters to chisel uplifting slogans on boulders in Dogtown Common. That was 90 years ago. This shot was taken 40 years ago. It is still there. Then and now the message still resonates.

YES! As governors are trying to figure out how to ease back in to a new normal, please remember: 🛑 Some people don’t agree with the state opening…. that’s okay. Be kind. 🏡 Some people are still planning to stay home…. that’s okay. Be kind. 🦠 Some are still scared of getting the virus and a second wave happening….that’s okay. Be kind. 💰 Some are sighing with relief to go back to work knowing they may not lose their business or their homes….that’s okay. Be kind. 👩🏾⚕️Some are thankful they can finally have a surgery they have put off….that’s okay. Be kind. 📝 Some will be able to attend interviews after weeks without a job….that’s okay.
