Celebrating 30 years in the Essex Company Offices & Yard
Dear Rising Loaves Community,
What a summer it has been! We are so happy to be back doing in-person programming at the Lawrence History Center. Throughout our three weeks together, we rejoiced in writing, creating, and sharing with each other — with help from our guest artists and writers from around the city and the country.
This summer we explored our personal identities, our relationships to family and friends, and our city through the theme: “The Story of Our Lives". Our kids were encouraged to create their own kind of story to add to the metaphorical mural that is Lawrence history. This theme carried into our first ever art gallery at El Taller Bookstore and Cafe. For this project, our students took portraits of themselves or favorite objects and overlaid handwritten poetry over the images.
Over the three weeks, we wrote, created tons of visual art, danced, made jokes, and quickly became a tight-knit Rising Loaves family.

On Thursday, June 16, 2022, over 160 people gathered at the 2022 Eartha Dengler History Award Ceremony to honor Yadira Betances Muldoon. Included among the guests were Yadira’s beloved teachers Mr Bill Campagnone and Leonor Sanchez.
The Lawrence History Center extends its gratitude to our honoree Yadira. It was a pleasure to gather the Lawrence community to honor and express gratitude and love for her. Speakers brought to life her personal story - the importance of her gift, the scope of her accomplishments, and the tremendous, yet quiet impact she has had on Lawrence and the Merrimack Valley.
