“During the first week of October the Ipswich
High School Global Languages Club ran a cam-
paign to raise funds for relief efforts in Puerto Ri-
co due to the devastation left on the island from
Hurricane Maria. A group of seven students
sponsored a hat day on Wednesday, October 4th
during which those participating paid one dollar
and were permitted to wear a hat for the
day. We encouraged too the sporting of red,
white, and blue head attire as they represent the
colors of both the American & Puerto Rican
flags! Additionally a few of our club members
baked cookies and sold them at lunch and even
prior to the start of classes in the morning while
we also simply collected donations from members
of our school community throughout the week.
In total $325 was collected and sent to the Con-
necticut based organization Americares to be utilized specifically for disaster relief efforts in Puerto
Rico as soon as possible. The Global Languages Club thanks all members of the IHS community
who donated to this important humanitarian effort. The IHS Global Languages Club works to pro-
mote universally important linguistic, cultural, and social messages in our world. “

Spirit Week also netted a grand total of $1,480 from donations made to all four class
funds during Penny Wars. This will be presented to Americares for their humanitarian
efforts in Puerto Rico supporting disaster relief in the wake of Hurricane Maria.
