Hi Joey,

This Sunday, February 28, there is a wonderful opportunity for parents to bring their kids out for an afternoon of folk dancing and singing to live fiddle, guitar and accordion music.

The fun will be happening from 2:00 to 5:00 at the Gloucester UU Church. The entrance is at 10 Church Street and families are welcome to come and go throughout the afternoon.

As always, thanks!

Cape Ann once held several Summer Program Fairs, but all of them have folded in the past years. We decided to replace that niche in our community and are excited to spread the word to Cape Ann about the offerings of many local organizations!
The previous poster was incorrect. Attached is the correct poster. Please contact us at your convenience if you have any questions, or have ideas of any other venues we can outreach to inform the public of this great event. 

Thanks, Clay Kern

“BEE SAFE, BEE NATURAL” WINS $1000

 On Tuesday, January 26th, Awesome Rockport teamed up with the Education Foundation of Rockport to select one of three Rockport Middle School finalists to receive a $1000 grant to make Rockport more awesome. Kids from grades 5 through 8 were invited to participate, and there were 19 applicants for the grant! Three finalists pitched their ideas in public forum at the middle school cafeteria Tuesday night. Superintendent Rob Liebow and Mr. Jim Gutstadt represented the Ed Foundation and participated in the voting process as well.

The winning pitch, titled “Bee Safe, Bee Natural”, was made by three 5th graders looking to establish a honey bee hive in Rockport. The group wants to maintain the hive, train others about beekeeping, establish a source for local honey production, and help educate others on the challenges facing honey bee populations and why bees are so integral to our health and to the production of the food we eat.

 The two awesome runner up proposals will hopefully reapply in future challenges. One group hopes to establish an outdoor community ice skating rink, and the other is focused on bolstering a cooking club recently started at the Rockport Middle School.

 It was an amazing night of presentations by some inspiring, highly motivated kids! Now that’s AWESOME!

 Check out Awesome Rockport on Facebook for information on submitting proposals in the upcoming RHS and community challenges!
