We’re proud to help bring the entire Ipswich High School freshman class to Crane beach for an immersive ecology field trip for the third year.

Students explore some of Ipswich’s most special ecosystems, including the sandy beach, sand dunes, and salt marsh, while learning from Trustees of Reservations scientists. They collect data as part of a real scientific study and use microscopes to examine plankton from local water samples.

Most importantly, students are getting outside, connecting with the remarkable natural environment right here in our community, and learning firsthand about the wildlife and ecosystems that make Ipswich so special.

In 2018, the Ipswich Middle and High School Green Team received the EPA President’s Environmental Youth Award for creating a half-acre garden at the high school that continues to bring our community together.

This summer, parents and students came together to get it ready for another school year, with support from IEF.

If you'd like to get involved in helping this garden, email us at [email protected] or donate to IEF's sustainability programs: https://www.ipswichedfoundation.org/sustainability-1

A bathing suit for Crane's beach day. Healthy food when it’s needed. The chance to participate in an after-school sport or activity.

Sometimes small things can make a big difference in whether a child feels like they belong.

The McAdams Wishing Well is a fund of the Ipswich Education Foundation that gives educators at all four Ipswich schools access to resources to help meet student needs as they come up.

Established in honor of former Winthrop teacher and principal Sheila McAdams, the Wishing Well helps carry on her commitment to making sure every child feels included and part of their school community. Learn more: https://www.ipswichedfoundation.org/mcadams-wishing-well
