To the Members of IMADA, I’m writing to thank you for your generosity in awarding me with a scholarship to use towards my education. I appreciate your recognition of my efforts in the arts programs at IHS, as well as my love for them. I plan to continue playing my violin, signing, painting…and I greatly appreciate all that IMADA does for these programs. Thank you for making my high school experience so full of creativity and art.
2009 College Scholarship Recipient To the IMADA Scholarship committee, thank you so much for your incredibly generous investment in my future...I know that (music) will be part of my life, as it has given me so much in the past. Ipswich is so lucky to have an organization like IMADA that so strongly supports the arts. 2009 College Scholarship Recipient I would like to express how grateful I am to receive an IMADA College Scholarship. The art department at Ipswich High School truly had the greatest impact on me. My entire life thrives in the arts and I cannot imagine it any other way. Amanda Bonaiuto, Class of 2008 The fine arts program at Ipswich High School has enriched my high school experience and, in fact, has been my inspiration each day at school. I will certainly do my best to represent our art and music programs well. Thank you. College Scholarship Recipient, Class of 2008 Thank you so much for choosing me as the recipient of one of your scholarships!... I love the arts program at Ipswich and have no doubt that it has played a major role in my development as a person. And so, at the risk of sounding corny, my real thanks to all of you at IMADA isn't for supporting me with this scholarship; rather, thank you for supporting this wonderful program.
