ICE 2020 Spring Fling Needs Your Donations!

/

This week you received a solicitation letter email asking for donations for the Spring Fling. We hope that you will give some thought to ways you could help us with this year's auction, the biggest fundraiser of our school. Whether you are a jewelry or clothing designer who can donate something fabulous; work in the theater or music industry and can offer us house seats; are an architect, interior designer, gardener, estate planner, or a closet organizer who can offer professional services, we need you!  Are you a loyal customer at a restaurant, cafe, camp, after school program, gym, yoga studio, pilates, boot camp? Ask for a gift certificate! It takes everyone thinking about who they can ask that makes this event so successful each year. If you have an idea and want to ask us some questions, feel free to email us.

Parent Help Needed for 8th Grade Living Environment

/

The 8th grade Living Environment classes are hard at work designing self-sustaining ecosystems and science lesson plans for our partner elementary schools as part of Project Ecobuild! We are looking for some parent help with the following:

1) We will be visiting partner classrooms the week of 1/28. If you would be willing to take a small group of students (+ their ecosystem) to a partner school the week of 1/28, please let me know your day/time availabilities.

2) We need community evaluators for student projects on 1/21 and 1/22. You would be responsible for scoring 3-4 student projects after viewing a 15 minute presentation from each group. Time of presentations is TBD, until Regents-week schedule has been finalized. 

3) We are in search of some resources to obtain critters for our ecosystems, such as salamanders or other small reptiles, and large insects such as ladybugs/crickets/ants. If you know anyone/resources that may be able to provide these for free/cheap, please let us know!

Contact Chelsea for any of the following. The students and I would super appreciate the help!! Thanks in advance for the support.
