IP Home Stretch! Parent Meeting Sun

Parent/Family Update May 1, 2026

• Parents, we'll be getting organized for year-end on Sunday. AT LEAST 1 PARENT from each family should join this Sunday's PARENT MEETING where we will cover plans for IP50 and Lowell, immediately following Community Assembly in Classroom 3.
• Pick up your IP50 T-Shirt at the Welcome Desk.
• Missed your family photo for the souvenir anniversary program? The backdrop will be set up so you can take your own pic and send it to ipbahayboston2@gmail.com.
• NEXT IP is 5/10 Mother's Day with Merienda Espesyal. FATHERS HAVE MERIENDA DUTY to set up, serve and clean up! We will have Merienda Espesyal Greek food sponsored by IP!
• May ALL SCHOOL DAYS are Sun 5/3, Sun 5/10, Sun 5/17, Mon 5/25, Sat 5/30 and the anniversary showcase on 5/31.

Hello everyone! I hope you all have a great April Break!

I am working on producing a documentary about the history and community of IP. If anyone would be interested in helping out or being interviewed about your time here, it would be amazing if you could fill out this interest form. I will send out times for volunteering based on when people are available at a later date once I have a better idea of availability.

In addition, if you have any media (pictures, videos, audio) from previous IP events from any time period that you would be willing to contribute, under this there is a link to upload them to a shared Google Drive (and you can see other people's pictures!).

Click below to sign up. We also received a suggestion to celebrate the shared history of Mexico and the Philippines through the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade and the links between our colonial histories. So, if you're inspired to make Mexican street food, that counts, too! BRAGGING RIGHTS for anyone who can name one of the ways that the Philippines and Mexico influenced each other's food and drink!
