Read Across America

You’re never too old, too wacky, or too wild. To pick up a book and read with a child. You’re never too busy, too cool, or too hot, to pick up a book and share what you’ve got.  At ICS, we’re gathering around, picking up books and passing them around.  This week, ICS will Read Across America with an exciting week of activities centered around reading! For more information on our exciting week, please click here.

Cares Across America

ICS is partnering with Operation Jersey Cares to provide much needed supplies for the men and women of our armed forces. From March 1 – 5, we will be collecting a variety of goods that will be donated to OJC and sent over to the members of our military serving overseas. For more information, please click here. Thank you to the 7th graders for your service.

Virtual Book Fair

ICS will be hosting a virtual book fair from March 1st until March 14th. 30% of the sales will go directly to ICS as we start fundraising for new textbook series. The link for the book fair can be found here.
However, please do not make purchases until 3/1.  Outside of our window we only receive 15%. Thank you for your support! 

Project Rice Bowl

As part of our 2021 Lenten Journey, our ICS Community will once again participate in the Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl Project. During Lent, we are not only called to make sacrifices but to give.  The Rice Bowl Project is a perfect chance to practice in our almsgiving!  Any questions please contact Mrs. Cullen at ccullen@ics41mtn.org
