Over the last few years we have been working hard to extend our support for ICE Alumni. One of the most common requests we receive from alumni is help in securing a job. We are hoping the ICE Community will help us find work for our kids who need it.
If you (or someone you know) are aware of a job opening at your place of work or
Read MoreExceptionally hard work, extensive research, and dedication, have resulted in ICE science students Asha Karmen-Chan (15), Jasmine Hyman (16), and Albert Jurkowski (16) receiving recognition from the Genes in Space competition with an Honorable Mention award.
One of only 10 projects (out of 375 submissions) to be selected, our ICE science students share this recognition with students from Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, and other specialty tech schools across the country. Including the finalists, the math works out to their project being in the top 4% of all submissions! This is a remarkable achievement.
The entire ICE community is so incredibly proud of these students’ continually pushing themselves to complete their best work!
Here's the link to the announcement: https://www.genesinspace.org/blog/genes-space-awards-part-1/ (copy and paste if link doesn’t work!).
Debating last weekend in Chicago against 44 top teams from 22 cities around the country, Josie and Nicole crushed it. It’s not easy to get to this place. Only two teams from NYC made it: ICE andBrooklyn Tech. Arguing at a graduate level, the team focused on Feminist Disability Theory looking at the interconnectedness of disability and sex. Then they connected it to relations between the US and China!!
These are difficult, layered arguments. Josie and Nicole made it to the sweet 16, the elite of the elite, finishing 12thin the country. This is very, very big - no school from this area has ever gotten this far. You should know how much work Josie and Nicole put into this.
Out of the seven ICE seniors who presented their original independent science research at the NYCSEF preliminary round three students advanced to the finals round, which was held on Tuesday at the Museum of Natural History. The NYCSEF finals round represents the top 25% of the science projects in New York City. For the first time in our history

Hello ICE Families,
I am writing to let you know that yesterday my wife gave birth to our second child, Colton Mack Mazzone. Everyone is happy and doing great.
I also want to let you all know that I will be spending the next two weeks at home with my family. Feel free to email or call me as you normally would, but know it may take me longer than usual to get back to you. For more immediate responses, email Pete (pkarpice@gmail.com) and Kristen Bonnici (Kristen.Bonnici@gmail.com) who will be taking over some of my duties the next two weeks.
Thanks to all. See you after April Break!

Hello ICE parents and friends!
We are thrilled to announce that a group of 11th and 12th graders from our school are taking a community service trip to Mexico. It’s a really exciting way to give back to the community and environment, as well as give our students an incredible cultural experience.
The group will be doing environmental and community based work in Puerto Morelos and Nuevo Durango. They will also have many opportunities to interact with the culture and setting of Mexico.
We want to make sure that every student, regardless of financial need or socioeconomic class, is able to take advantage of this opportunity. That’s why we’re asking you to consider donating to our Go Fund Me https://www.gofundme.com/icemexico2017. Even if you can only spare a dollar, it really does all add up.
Please feel free to share the link with your family and friends.
Thank you so much!

We've made a couple of minor changes to the Newsletter but changes with big impact we hope!
By now you've already received the email from Pete and Mark related to ICE's efforts to help alumni with their job search. We now have a link to make the search easy for alumni and to make posting job openings easy for those who know of openings. (See information below regarding city summer employment opportunities.)
We have added two additional links: to make donating to summer sports camp scholarships for twenty ICE students easy, and to provide information and donation opportunities around ICE's incredible travel programs for students!
The Department of Education offers an HIV/AIDS prevention program as part of an ongoing comprehensive health education program.
In addition, all high school students in grades 9-12 are permitted to request free condoms at their school. As a parent or guardian, you may ask the school not to give your child condoms. This is referred to as a parent opt-out.
If you would like an opt-out letter, please see the attachment.
Last Call
Seniors are going on the first history field trip Monday, January 30th to study the Civil Rights Movement! So this is the last call for sweatshirts. In order to raise money for the trip, students hosted a very successful Chipotle fundraiser. Additionally, a group of seniors designed an ICE sweatshirt to sell to the ICE community.
If you would like to place an order for the sweatshirt, please fill out the order form attached. The price of each sweatshirt is $25. Jehan will accept orders for sweatshirts until February 10th and they will not be available again until next year! Please note that Jehan will be out of the office all next week because of the trip. She will return February 6th.
Thank you to all who have supported the seniors in their fundraising efforts.
Whether or not you believe the allegations, the jaw-dropping dossier of sins that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau accuses the nation’s largest student loan servicer of committing is useful for two crucial reasons.
First, it’s a reminder of just how much can go wrong when we force inexperienced young adults, especially, to navigate a complex financial services offering. We shouldn’t be surprised, but we should be ashamed: elected representatives cut support for higher education; sticker prices rose; teenagers and others applied for admission, signed up for debt and, in many cases, finished their degrees. Then came the bombardment of confusing loan and repayment options.

As reported previously in this newsletter, President-elect Trump has chosen Betsy DeVos as his pick for federal Secretary of Education. DeVos's pro-privatization, anti-public-education views have sparked growing resistance to her nomination. Just this week the Buffalo PTA wrote a letter condemning her and a Board of Education on Long Island passed a resolution--expected to be copied by other districts--opposing her confirmation. We need all hands on deck for this one. You too can speak up to protect public education. Here's what you

Drama, magic, bands, a cappella singers, gymnastics, dancing, standup comedy, lip syncing, and lots of singers … who knew the depth and range of ICE student talent? Performers’ ability to work through some technical issues without loss of composure demonstrated the confidence our students possess.
Ashley and Tatiana did a fine job of emceeing, as did Athena and Tatiana in an impromptu song from their Subway Moon work. Proceeds benefit the Malaysia trip.
