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!! ✌🏼👌🏼

Sun's out, Fun's out(side)! The weather app said 95% chance of rain all week for today, but FEH! Mother Nature is smiling on us, so it looks like it'll be an A+ summer evening on the Meetinghouse Green with The Goddesses, GEF, and @meatandsweetfood

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-

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!!
