Thank you to all of the parents who volunteered, the staff for organizing and supervising, everyone who donated to the Open Door, and most importntly all of our students who went on the walk. As of press time, they have raised over $14,400 for the Ipswich Community Food Pantry! A huge thank you to our lead organizers Mr. Jewell, Ms. Ryan, and Ms. Bevilacqua for all of their hard work. A special shout out to 8th graders Theo Melzack and Jack Bunnell who have been the top fund raisers for three straight years! We have quite a bit of pictures to share, enjoy!

Our staff always plans a blend of hands on activities, kinesthetic lessons, as well as more traditional school work. These pictures about what is going on in a few of the classrooms this week can also be a conversation starter with your students if they answer your "What did you do at school today?" question with - "Nothing." This week's pictures include students in 6th graders in Science classes working on their electric cars; 7th graders in Social Studies trying to figure out who killed Julius Caeser; finally, 8th graders in ELA class on an Easter Egg vocabulary hunt.

When we return from April vacation, the majority of our 6th graders will be leaving for the Ecology School trip on Tuesday. Please click this link to see a slide show about what to pack for the trip.

My name is Katie Mosco and I am a part of the Interact club here at Ipswich High School which is known for helping the community and putting service above self. On May 30th we are having a town wide event called Relay for Life to raise money that will go to cancer research. Alana Novello and Emma Eliot ran this event last year, and with the help of the club this year we hope to make this event a huge success. Come to Relay for Life on May 30th from 5pm-9pm at the Ipswich Highschool track! The Interact Club at IHS is running a town wide event to raise money towards cancer research.
