We sure have been busy this week and that will not stop in the coming weeks. This past week we had MCAS testing in grades 6 and 8, the start of the grade 7 sustainability trips, as well as plenty of afterschool activities. These included the Jazz concert at Shalin Liu in Rockport on Monday, The Spring Art Show on Wednesday, the Multilingual Leaders Showcase on Thursday, The Express Yourself Bloom Performance at the Wang Theater in Boston also on Thursday, and the Memorial Day Assembly on Friday. I would like to thank our faculty members who have coordinated these tremendous activities including Ms. Pagano, Mr. Fremont-Smith, Ms. Zadykowicz, Ms. Trotsky, Ms. Davidson, Ms. Guillaume, and Mr. Murphy. I would also like to thank Commander Christopher J. Bencal, US Navy (retired), father of 8th grader Kaitlyn Bencal (pictured above, right), who was our honored guest at the Memorial Day Assembly. I have plenty of pictures to share from these events:

Monday, June 1st - Grade 8 Civics MCAS

Wed. - Fri., June 3rd - 5th - Grade 8 Washington D.C. and local trips

Tuesday, June 23rd - Field Day and Talent Show

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.
