A beautiful doe and its fawn visited our backyard recently. It’s been quite a while since we have seen a fawn in our immediate neighborhood so this was a special treat. They spent a fair amount of time hanging around and it reminded me of the scene in Bambi where the mother cautiously introduces Bambi to the meadow. There were definitely some lessons being shared that late afternoon! For additional story details and images, please check out Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook link here. It was a special opportunity to observe wildlife.

The Gloucester Education Foundation (GEF) is thrilled to share our FY2026 Impact Report with the community! It celebrates 20 years of GEF, from the early days to today, with a focus on what your support made possible this year, including:
We’re especially impressed with that incredible cover photo by GHS sophomore Shane Widtfeldt, taken in the GHS Auto Shop. Literal sparks were flying as fellow sophomore Sam Watts did some welding!
We hope you enjoy the report, and that it inspires you to support our Spring Appeal. Every gift will help fund programs in Gloucester Schools next fall: programs educators dream up, students adore, and families count on.
This beautiful Yellow Peonies stood out with all the green around it. Also, do you notice the yellow pollen on the leaves?

Community celebration on June 14 invites the North Shore to experience Jewish pride, joy, food, music, art, and connection
Gloucester, MA — In just one week, Stage Fort Park will come alive with Jewish music, culture, food, art, and family fun as the Cape Ann Jewish Cultural Festival returns to Gloucester on Sunday, June 14, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
The festival is free, family-friendly, and open to the entire community, welcoming people of all backgrounds from Cape Ann, and across the North Shore.
Hosted by Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Ann, the festival offers a joyful and welcoming way to experience Jewish culture in the heart of Cape Ann. Guests will enjoy live klezmer music, free children’s activities, artists and vendors, and kosher food available for purchase.
More than just a festival, organizers say the event is meant to be a public celebration of connection, belonging, and Jewish joy.
“At a time when Jewish identity is so often spoken about in the context of challenges, this festival offers something different,” said Rabbi Avremi Raichik, director of Chabad Jewish Center of Cape Ann. “It is a chance to celebrate Jewish life openly, proudly, and joyfully through music, food, art, family, and community.”
The Cape Ann Jewish Cultural Festival was created to bring people together and share the richness of Jewish culture with the broader community. The event is designed for all ages, whether attendees come for the music, the food, the kids’ activities, the vendors, or simply to enjoy an uplifting afternoon by the Gloucester waterfront.
“This is not only for the Jewish community,” Rabbi Raichik said. “It is for neighbors, families, friends, and anyone who wants to be part of a warm, meaningful, and joyful community celebration.”
Organizers are encouraging attendees to reserve free tickets in advance so they can prepare for the crowd.
Event Details:
What: Cape Ann Jewish Cultural Festival
When: Sunday, June 14, 1:00–3:00 p.m.
Where: Stage Fort Park, Gloucester, MA
Admission: Free and family-friendly
