It’s that time of year again, Field Day! Field day is for Grades PreK - 5th and will take place on Friday, May 31st with a rain date of Tuesday, June 4th. We are looking for parent volunteers who are interested in making field day a fun success. If you are able to help out, please fill out and return the slip (in the PDF attachment below) to your child's classroom teacher by Friday, May 24th. All parent volunteers must have an active CORI on file with the school. CORIs can take a day or two to process. Please see Jeanne Vlahos to complete a CORI form.
Field day has been a resounding success year after year because of the support and help we get from our parent volunteers. A volunteer's job is to be the expert at the station, to explain the rules, directions, and goals of the station. Teachers travel around with all the groups and will be responsible for classroom management.
Grades: 3-5 & Miss Tina’s Preschool: 9:00-10:58 am (Check-in time for volunteers 8:40 am)
Grades: K-2 & Miss Emily’s Preschool: 12:30-2:40 pm (Check-in time for volunteers 12:10 pm)
Field Day check-in time (if you are volunteering) is either 8:40 am or 12:10 pm in the gymnasium. You will first need to sign in at the front office. Then you will head to the gymnasium to receive station assignments, gather equipment, and to learn about your station.
All school volunteers and chaperones must have an updated CORI on file with Ipswich Public Schools. Please email Mrs. Vlahos at jvlahos@ipsk12.net to check on your CORI status. If you do not have an updated CORI, please reach out to her as soon as possible and at least one week before volunteering.
Thank you in advance! We are looking forward to a fun, educational day emphasizing teamwork and cooperation. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Mr. Falconieri. E-mail is the best form of communication and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Anthony Falconieri - afalconieri@ipsk12.net

Seedling Giveaway- Thursday, May 23rd at dismissal - Did you know GT kids sorted and saved seeds from plants in late fall, planted seeds over the winter, watched them grow in milk jugs, and potted them this spring to share with you all? Now it's your turn to help keep the cycle going! This Thursday, May 23rd at dismissal, Green Team families will be giving away seeds and seedlings for you to take home and plant. Nurture them over the summer, and bring seeds back this fall to add to our seed library!
Garden Dinner - Join us this Friday, May 24th - 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm at the IMS/HS garden to benefit the HS Sustainability Scholarship. All are welcome. Let us know if you can help with set-up, serving, or clean-up by signing up here. Or you can buy tickets as a guest here!! See flier attached.
Harvest of the Month - May's Green Monster smoothies were devoured by Winthrop students and they were asking for more! If you want to try the recipe at home, all you need is oat milk, spinach, pineapple, honey, bananas, and ice. Yum! HUGE shoutout to Winthrop parents Grace Garrison and Dianna Freehan for leading the HOTM effort this year. They coordinated with Doyon Green Team, the IPS Food Services, and local vendors to bring our students opportunities to try delicious, healthy, and local foods each month. THANK YOU!
