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!🧑🎨👩🎨🎨

We have been busy this week getting into the holiday spirit!

If you’re strolling in town this weekend, check out “The Gingerbread Man” tree, full of decorations made by children in our playgroups!🎄✨

Say hello to Aidan Carter-Frem, Lillian Hanly, Elizaveta Tcherniaeva, and Justin Yip, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) students working with us to evaluate the usage of the Nantucket Community Pool at 30 Surfside Road.
The WPI group has created a survey to accomplish their goal. Responses are anonymous, and survey participants can enter for a chance to win a free one-month pool membership in a raffle. Survey results will help shape the future of the pool and its programming.
“The Nantucket Community Pool is a valuable resource for our community,” said NCS Executive Director Alicia Graziadei. “Our facility is open six days a week, Monday through Saturday, and offers programming for all ages. We try our best to provide programming and space for all our island residents and visitors; however, this has become increasingly difficult as our population continues to grow.”

This beautiful fall weather has us yearning to explore all of the island’s beautiful properties! Luckily, we have access to Nantucket’s most knowledgeable people from a variety of different organizations.

On Tuesday morning, Seth Engelbourg, Naturalist Educator and Program Manager at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation, took NCS staff on a guided tour of their property at 110 Eel Point Road. An abundance of wildlife calls the organization’s 275-acre parcel home, and it includes coastal heathlands, sand plain grasslands, and vegetated wetlands.

In addition to walking the property, we also got to see and touch some artifacts along the way!

Did you know? We partner with LLNF to offer Story Walk, a free, family-friendly activity that provides a chance to explore the trail and read a book as you walk! Spanish translation is available. Check it out from sun-up to sun-down.
