We continue to be deeply shocked and saddened by the events that occurred yesterday at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.

We are pleased to share this recent New Bedford Light article by Colin Hogan reporting on the newly opened Joan and Irwin Jacobs Center for STEAM Education.

Jaslin Arita Hernandez, a high school freshman, writes about her life-long dream of becoming an architect and how GLCPS is helping her to keep moving toward her goal.

More than two years after the first hammer was swung, the long-anticipated opening of a state-of-the-art STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) education center for students at the Global Learning Charter Public School (GLCPS) is a reality. Last week, while teachers and other team members were organizing classrooms and offices, students were getting their first glimpse of the new Joan and Irwin Jacobs STEAM Center for Education which stands adjacent to the school’s main campus. The building opened Monday, February 13th.

Haley Bedard has done it again except this time she's exceeded past success. Late last year, Haley auditioned for the Southeastern Massachusetts Music Educators Association (SEMMEA) Senior District Music Festival which takes place in January. Judged on 16 criteria, she scored 194 out of 200, and earned the spot of 1st Flute 2nd Chair. Additionally, she earned the All State recommendation and the opportunity to audition for the Massachusetts Music Educators' Association All State Festival.

Trying to put the pandemic in the rear-view mirror has been difficult. Next week we officially begin the holiday season with the giving of thanks. This year we have attempted to return to a normal form of life. I am grateful to our medical professionals for their continued battle to address new Covid variants, the flu and now RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus). I am grateful for our teachers and staff who continue caring and working with our students during this “new normal.” I am grateful to you, the families of our students as you have supported our efforts throughout the pandemic and beyond.
