Calling all puppy owners!🐶

Do you have a pup aged 10-20 weeks? Join us for Puppy Socialization with dog trainer and behavior specialist Meg Gallugi of DogSPEAKTraining.

Early socialization experiences are critical for your puppy’s development. When done correctly, puppy socialization can and will prevent all kinds of behavior challenges down the road.

We had a magical day with our friends from @stpaulschurchinnantucket at our end-of-year Extended Day tea party!
Did you know that our St. Paul’s Church volunteers read with our Extended Day kindergarten students twice a week? To celebrate the end of the school year, they surprised our kindergarteners with an afternoon tea. We are truly lucky to collaborate with this amazing team of individuals! ⭐️
Extended Day 2024-2025 is nearly over, but registration for the 2025-2026 school year opens next week on Wednesday, June 11 at 5 p.m. at nantucketcommunityschool.org
Meet Coach Willy Workman! Coach Willy is leading our summer teen basketball camp for children ages 13-16!🏀⛹️⛹️♀️
•
Born and raised in Northampton, Massachusetts, Willy and his family have been linked to Nantucket Island for generations. Willy credits attending sports camps as a child for introducing him to much of his lifelong islander community.
•
A 2013 graduate of Amherst College, Willy just finished his 12th season as a professional basketball player. An experienced player, Willy loves to share his knowledge with the next generation. And his most important hoops advice: “Just enjoy!”
•
A father of two, Willy looks forward to putting his eldest in ACKventure Camp this summer, hoping it will help his sons (Cash and DJ) form their own Nantucket connection.
•
Basketball for teens begins on Monday, July 7, and will run Monday through Thursday from 12-3pm. Want to register your child? Visit the link in our bio and click on “ACKventure Camps and Sports Clinics 2025” or contact Jazmine Kasperzyk at kasperzykj@npsk.org with any questions.

This morning, our staff spent time at the Artists Association of Nantucket’s Visual Arts Center and Champion Gallery at 24 Amelia Drive. Elizabeth Buccino, Director of Education, and Lizbet Carroll Fuller, Education Programming Manager, taught us how to decorate clay trinket trays using transfer paper. It was so fun tapping into our artistic side!🧑🎨👩🎨🎨

Thank you to our friends, @ackartists, for a creative start to our day!
