We had another great party this year. It was a beautiful day and the garden was packed with I.C.E. parents, meeting new faces and greeting friends. The new 6th grade parents came out in force, bringing lots of excitement and new energy. We ate a lot of yummy barbecued chicken and burgers, and enjoyed plenty of ICEarita’s and Pimm’s Cup’s. And we also raised $1500 - just like that! Many thanks to all who came. It was really great talking to so many really cool people.
