PRAYER INTENTIONS
In thanksgiving for the successful surgeries of Marc Martin-Romero and Eric Castellucci. May God speed their respective recoveries and grant them continued health!
We once again pray for all mothers and families. We pray in a special way for all families who's mother has passed into eternal life as well as all women trying to conceive a child. May God's peace and comfort come to these families and may God bless 'Moms' of all kinds!
Please pray for our ICS 8th Graders, the Class of 2014, as they finish their academic careers at ICS and prepare for their trip to Washington, D.C. next week. May God grant them traveling mercies and may God travel with them as they prepare for graduation and high school!
We humbly ask for your prayers for the success of tomorrow's Irish Cup Championship. May God keep all students safe and may the day be an opportunity for the ICS to grow closer together as a family and closer to Jesus.
We continue to pray for the following people:

Today's quote is from Henry David Thoreau and speaks about the hope, promise and joy that children bring to our world! May we truly enjoy them as the gifts they are - thank you, God, for our kids!
IRISH CUP CHAMPIONSHIP
Our Inaugural Irish Cup Championship is set for tomorrow! Priory shirts are in. Oranges, Icees and other supplies are secured. SpirtFM is booked. The weather looks to be absolutely gorgeous for mid-May in Florida. Let the fight for the Cup begin!
The Irish Cup Championship is an all day event and will supplant and enhance what used to be field day. ICS Priories will compete in various events testing their academic and athletic prowess and their problem solving and teamwork skills! The schedule for the day is as follows:
8:30 - 9:00, Mass in the Church
11:00 - 12:00, Academic Results in St. Michael Hall
1:00 - 3:00, The AMAZING Race, ICS Pavilion and Field
If you would like to join us for any of these events, please report directly to that location. So as to maintain the safety and security of our students despite making events open to the public, please do not cut through campus to go from one location to another. Please go around.
T-shirts for this historic event will be provided to all students. Shirts will correspond to the student's Priory from this year and can be worn on any ICS Spirit Day this school year and beyond. Please pay $5.00 to the Main Office to help offset the cost of this item.
We will have orange slices, freeze pops and Rita's Italian Ice available for all students. Please, however, consider sending a snack in with your child(ren) as you typically would. Please also remember that Friday will be our final Family Supper of the year; please ensure that your student(s) have lunch.
Finally, Priory t-shirts will be passed out to students on Friday morning so that all students can be uniform. Students should report to school in sneakers, PE shorts and an ICS shirt (PE or spirit). The Priory shirt can go over the shirt students wear to school or they will be permitted to use the bathroom to change.
GO IRISH!
COMMITMENT HOURS
Invoices for unfinished commitment hours were sent home last week and are due tomorrow. If you still need hours, please consider volunteering for tomorrow's 5/16 Irish Cup Championship.

See the flyer in today's packet for information about our end of the year Used Uniform Sale. It will be held on 6/5 and 6/6 from 7:00 - 8:30 a.m. in St. Michael Hall.
AMAZING TEACHING = AMAZING STUDENTS
As a follow-up to today's "Celebrating Successes" section of the Newsletter, please consider how impressive it is that two ICS students won the Tampa Hispanic Heritage Essay Contest. In two short years, Mrs. Casanas has been able to re-imagine and restructure our Spanish program to the extent that two of our Middle School students, Lexi Velte and Maria Paula Owens, were able to win awards among all entries from the Tampa Bay area.
This is due in large part to Mrs. Casanas and her hard work and dedication to make our Spanish Program one of the brightest parts of our AMAZING school. It is also due to the collaborative and synergistic approach that our faculty members embody. Mrs. Casanas and Mrs. Carrier have partnered with both each other and with classroom level teachers to enhance many various subjects across all grade levels. This interdisciplinary approach is just one of the 12 AMAZING teaching pillars that our faculty have embraced:
An interdisciplinary approach, incorporating collaboration across subject areas, deepens student understandings.AMAZING job, ICS teachers and students! GO IRISH!
HAPPY EASTER!
May the joy of the Resurrected Jesus Christ be with you always! Happy Easter!
In keeping with our tradition, we at Incarnation Catholic School:
Inspire life-long learning,
Challenge each individual to be a disciple of Christ, and
Strive to live our Catholic faith through service to each other and the community.
