Love watching these schooners coming in and out of the harbor everyday, especially in the evening when the light is so warm.   It’s like adding a little “bling” to our already gorgeous landscape!

On May 25th, over 600 students and staff of the O’Maley Innovation Middle School in Gloucester, MA came together to create a lip dub to celebrate the S.A.I.L.S. initiative that is underway at the school.

S.A.I.L.S. stands for Service, Acceptance, Integrity, Leadership and Success, and this is the third year the students have chosen a theme song to represent SAILS for the year and put together a lip dub to help promote and foster the SAILS values and to build a positive community.

This year they chose two songs: “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten, and “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift.
