Thanks to everyone who came out to the Meetinghouse Green concert with The Goddesses on Friday! Your generosity brought in over $1,500 in donations for GEF programs. Extra 🙌🏽 ♥️ 🙌🏽 to our merry crew of volunteers, big and small!! PS: we are (hilariously and unsuccessfully) trying to show “20” with our hands to signify GEF’s 20th anniversary year. We better figure out how to do this by our big Gala on November 6th!! ✌🏼👌🏼

This morning, 4th and 5th graders in the Gordon Summer STEAM Camp were interviewed for a documentary about engineer Bernard Gordon, who makes this program possible at no cost to GPS families each summer through his generosity to GEF! The kids were asked: “What does it mean to be an engineer?” and they had some terrific insights...can’t wait to see the documentary when it is done! Thanks to the students who participated for taking a break from coding LEGO creations to be filmed, to program directors Erin Schondelmeier and Annemarie Wentzel for sharing their story of dreaming up and leading this awesome program, to filmmaker Rocco Capano, and to the Bernard M. Gordon Foundation for all of its support for future engineers!

Happy LAST DAY OF SCHOOL to Gloucester kids, families, teachers and staff! It was a long year, and everyone is ready for a glorious summer - and this weekend, Fiesta! Please take a moment to look back at SY24-25 by thumbing through GEF's Impact Report today. Despite the many challenges of this school year, this community has much to be proud of when it comes to supporting, challenging, and lifting up our students. GEF is thankful to play a role in that important work, and appreciative of every educator, family, donor, volunteer, elected official, and administrator that work together to make learning come alive for our kids. Link to the report in bio.
Happy first day of summer! GPS students still have a few more days of school, but it's lovely to see so many of them outside today enjoying field days, extra recess, special events, and soaking in the sunshine. We all need it. ☀☀☀ Remember to Honor-
Happy first day of summer! GPS students still have a few more days of school, but it's lovely to see so many of them outside today enjoying field days, extra recess, special events, and soaking in the sunshine. We all need it. ☀☀☀ Remember to Honor-a-Teacher before the last day of school on 6/26: a simple but impactful way to recognize the GPS staff that have educated, nurtured, and championed your kids all year long! 🏆 Link in bio.

Final meeting of the year for the GEF Student Advisory Committee: a celebratory dinner at The Azorean! Lauren, Liv, Hannah and Aidan are off to college at the end off the summer; Clay, Mylee and Jeferson will welcome new sophomore and junior advisors in the fall as they start their senior years. These kids ask tough questions, have brilliant ideas, and share perceptive insights. We’re so fortunate to have them on our team. @vermontstate_castleton, @uofsc, @webbinstitute, and @wheatoncollegeil: you’re so lucky to get these Gloucester grads!!

GEF's 2025 Impact Report "In Their Hands: The Power of Experiential Learning" is here! It highlights 30 hands-on programs led by talented Gloucester educators who go above and beyond to help students learn by doing. Shout out to GHS Class of 2019's @rebeccamdowd for her help writing this report - boy, do we love when alumni stay engaged like that 💛. With nearly $475,000 invested this school year, we see that the Gloucester community is steadfast in their support for our schools. We hope you’ll help keep that momentum going with a gift to our spring appeal, or an Honor-a-Teacher gift if you're a GPS parent looking for a creative way to thank a Gloucester teacher!

Plum Cove reunion alert!! Plum art teacher Lisa Groleau was so happy to run into her former students today at O’Maley while setting up her current students’ colorful self-portraits for Saturday’s Arts Festival. When we decided to move this year’s Arts Fest to O’Maley we were hoping for sweet alumni moments like these.
