Hydroponic Garden

/

Come see for yourselves!!
While at I.C.E. this month participating in the many activities…. Visit the Hydroponic Garden. All the equipment is here and mostly set up. We are in the training phase but we have arugula and several other sprouts. It won't be turned on fully until we have the more grown up sprouts but stop by the 5th floor (next door to Rm 518).

8th Grade Stepping Up Seeks 7th Grade Parent Volunteers

/

The I.C.E. Community "Stepping Up" Ceremony for the 8th Graders is Monday, June 27, from 9 - 12 at Judson Church on Washington Square Park South. 
 
As is the ICE tradition, 7th grade families play a big role coordinating and executing this event. We are in need of ten 7th grade parents to set up and clean up on the 27th from 8 am until 1 pm. Additionally, we need volunteers to purchase beverages and paper goods to be used during the ceremony.
 
7th grade students are also encouraged to help with this special event.  It is a really nice opportunity to see the festivities and help out our 8th grade families.  Next year will be 7th grade families’ turn to watch their kids graduate without having to worry about the organization … so please volunteer, we need you!
 
Please contact Becky Burrows at addingtonburrows@gmail.com if you have a 7th grader and would like to volunteer for this.

I.C.E. Now Community Partner with Fairway

I.C.E. is now a Community Partner with Fairway.  If you shop at Fairway, pick up your key ring cards and regular card and swipe it every time you check out at Fairway who will make a donation to I.C.E.  Give the card to anybody you know who shops at Fairway – grandparents, sitters, friends, etc.

The family cards will be available at the 6th Grade Orientation and the Exec Board meeting on June 1st, and at the PTA meeting on June 8th - and then again next fall at all PTA/school-wide events.  But pick yours up now and start earning I.C.E. donations!
