Want to know more about our school?

Eastern Point Day School is truly a community school. We utilize a great number of local resources to significantly enhance a child’s classroom experience, including the Cape Ann YMCA, the Magnolia Library & Community Center, the CATA bus system and the Sawyer Free Library. In turn, our students, families, and faculty are committed to giving back.

Community service is an integral part of the Eastern Point Day School experience and volunteerism is encouraged from Preschool through Grade 8. Through service to others we instill a sense of empowerment to make a difference in the world around us.

Hello Folks,

She simply didn’t believe me. There was no way that there could be carrots growing in her school garden because all she could see was a bunch of green leaves. But this little kindergartener from Veterans School had the surprise of her life when she reached down, scraped at the soil surface and found some orange! In the next moment she was yanking a carrot out of the ground along with her classmates and holding it up in the air with the biggest smile.

Please join us this year by donating to our end-of-year campaign in conjunction with Giving Tuesday, which is TODAY!

Why Backyard Growers this season? School, community, and backyard gardens yield delicious veggies, increase access to nature, provide learning opportunities, and improve children’s health — But more than that, gardens grow community and a powerful source of self-reliance.

This Giving Tuesday, help Backyard Growers strengthen our work serving Gloucester’s families and children. When you give today the first $2,250 we receive will be matched by three of our generous donors. This match represents a year’s worth of garden supplies for our district-wide Salad Days and Fall Harvest Days programs in Gloucester’s elementary schools. Double your impact and help us meet our match! Our partner, The Giving Common, will cover credit card fees so that 100% of your donation goes to Backyard Growers.

Thank you!
