SAT, 3/24 -- Community Gathering for Schools

A "Community Gathering for Our Schools and Our Children," will be held this Saturday, March 24th at 4pm, at the Gloucester High School Field House.

Jim Unis, an alumni of Fuller school, and the Fuller PTO are leading a community-wide effort to reach out to and mobilize the entire community of Gloucester in support of our schools and children.

Join other concerned parents, high school students, Gloucester alums, and community leaders in planning for upcoming events (such as the Governor's visit, the School Committee Public Hearing, the Education Rally at the Statehouse), and the future of our community.

The following message comes from Sybil Militello, Co-President of the Fuller PTO:

"Here is the Agenda proposed for Saturday. . . . I hope that you will all be able to make it, this is the beginning, we need to unite as one community and work for the future of our children and future of our community. I know that we are all busy but this is important, we need to organize ourselves and our community. . . Thanks Sybil

Saturday Agenda - GHS Field House 4pm

  • Inform the community about the present status of our Education System
  • If we do not invest in the future of our community and our children, when the children are adults and lacking in academic skills, there will be no community.
  • short term/long term goals and objectives
  • strategies and tactics
  • First step, ACTION we make flyers, banners and signs at the high school during/after meeting

We need to mobilize and believe that we can create change! This is not an education issue this is a Gloucester Community issue!"
