Gloucester Alumni

Did you attend Gloucester's Fuller School? Do you have a child who went there, or did you ever work there?

If so, Ellen Sibley, principal of the Fuller fifth grade that will close out the school on June 12, is hoping you'll share your favorite memories of a building that has served a wide variety of grades over the years — but will be closing as a school when the current fifth-graders depart next month.

Sibley said she's hoping to compile residents' favorite Fuller memories into a scrapbook organized by members of the school's PTO. She said she also plans to have some of the best memories read during a last-day ceremony planned for June 12.

"It can be anything," Sibley said, "memories someone had as a student, a parent — anything. The building has such a history, I'm sure people have wonderful memories of their time here, whether it was years ago, or very recently."

Anyone interested in contributing to the project should jot his or her memories into a one-page essay and send it to Sibley at the school. All the contributions should be received by Monday, June 9.

Send your Fuller memories to: Ellen Sibley, Principal, Fuller School, 4 Schoolhouse Road, Gloucester MA 01930.
