As parents we are often looking for ways to lead by example and show our children how important it is to show respect, appreciation and compassion to our fellow people. Our teachers at ICE, although as humanly fallible as each one of us, make superhuman efforts to go above and beyond the call of duty - like teaching science in the AM and coaching softball in the PM. They use their lunch breaks and stay after-school to help students who might be struggling with extra tutoring, at no cost.
It is for these reasons, and more, that on Teacher/Staff Appreciation Day, we the families want and need to come together to say thanks for all they do to enhance our children's intellectual, emotional and extracurricular pursuits. And what better way to say thanks than with FOOD!
We invite any and all families to donate homemade or store bought food for this year's Teacher/ Staff Appreciation Day on Friday, May 18th from 7:40 am – 2 pm.
Breakfast Pastries, sandwiches, salads, appetizers, fruit salad, chocolate mousse, banana pudding, lemon squares, brownies, cookies...what can your family donate?
In the past we have been amazed at how our community comes together to make this day so special. Don't have time to cook? You can donate your time or give a monetary donation, since we may need to supplement with a caterer.
Day of volunteers are needed for shopping, breakfast and coffee service, lunch set up and service, clean-up and body therapies.
For more information or to sign-up to donate food, money or time please email Alisa Payne (Maddox’s Mom).
If you are a body worker, massage therapist or flower essence practitioner and want to donate your talent during the day of Friday May 18th Please email Annette Tacconelli (Sal’s Mom).
Thanks in advance for making this year's Teacher/ Staff Appreciation Day a success,
