The Gloucester County Educational Foundation has been raising money to support Gloucester County Public Schools for almost 30 years - and the main way they achieve their goals is by hosting an annual race. Fit for walkers and runners of all ages, this is an amazing way to fund teacher mini-grants and the Teacher of the Year program here in Gloucester. There's even an option to participate virtually, if you're not able to attend on March 14.

In this podcast, Helen Worthington and Michelle Stone share the goals of the Ed Foundation, details of the race, and share some of the ways this fundraiser has contributed to students in the past.

Gloucester County has announced the completion of its 2026 Real Estate Reassessment, an important process that ensures all properties in the county are assessed equitably and reflect current market conditions. The updated assessments represent fair market values as of January 1, 2026, and all property owners should receive notices of reassessment in their mailboxes in early December.

This month, we sit down with Dan Thomas, Gloucester County's Assessor, to discuss the process of a general reassessment and explore what property owners need to know about how their values are determined, and how to appeal if they believe there are errors in their assessments.
