ICE Community Lunch

/

On Monday, the Community Service Club and I.C.E. parents organized the 2nd Community Lunch of the year. We were able to feed hundreds of kids thanks to the incredible generosity of families who sent in salad bar items, cornbread, chips, cookies, brownies and more chili than you can imagine! 

A huge thank you to all who participated. Keep an eye out for our next community lunch date and theme. If you have any suggestions or would like to volunteer please email.

Request from ICE Senior Lisle Jamieson

/

Dear ICE family,

ICE senior Lisle Jamieson has a survey--An Investigation of Partisan Activity-- that he needs to be completed by as many adults residing in the United States as possible. He asks that you please complete his survey, but more importantly, please spread this to friends and family and your social media network (and encourage them to do the same). Let's make this thing viral!

You can find the survey here.

Lisle and I thank you!
