ICE PTA Meeting

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR A VERY SPECIAL PTA MEETING
ICE PAC is hosting the Feb 12 PTA Meeting (6 PM, RM 518). If you attended the January PTA meeting, you heard Pete mention that ICE is part of a network of schools known as the "Consortium." We are pleased to announce that Ann Cook, one of the founders of the New York Performance Standards Consortium, will be our special guest at this meeting. Ann is whip smart, a font of knowledge, and very engaging; you'll definitely want to hear her speak and ask her questions. In addition, we will have a couple of ICE teachers on hand and maybe even a student or two to talk about how teaching and learning in a Consortium school helps to cultivate the individual's interest and passion and is a natural way to institute "culturally responsive education." All parents welcome, but middle school parents especially encouraged to attend.

Foods of the World Community Lunch

/

The next Community Lunch will be Monday, February 3rd. Once again, the Community Service Club and I.C.E. parents will come together to organize a bountiful and nutritious lunch for as many I.C.E. students as possible. Please help us by sending in your favorite International dish. We want to take advantage of our multi-cultural community and teach our kids that the world is bursting with flavor! The last Community Lunch was extremely popular. We served close to 300 kids! If we are going to repeat this successfully, we will need you to send in food. Please click HERE to sign up. As always, we will provide a salad bar as well as hot dishes. If you have any suggestions or would like to volunteer please email.
