Prayers
We continue to lift up the following ICS family members:
-We pray for the father of Mrs. Coulman, Martin Herman, (John and Jackson's grandfather) who is being treated for an infection in his leg. We pray for his quick healing and recovery.
-We pray for Mr. Woodward and his family as they mourn the loss of his grandmother, Nellie Mananno. May God surround the Woodwards during this difficult time and may they feel His comfort and grace.
Thank You
Thank you to the many families (almost 1/4 of our total number of families) that attended last night's State of Incarnation meeting. We appreciate your attendance and we hope you found the meeting insightful and encouraging!
Many thanks to our teachers, students and all of our families for all of the good work happening in the name of Christ at Incarnation Catholic School.

ICS Family Challenge
-Matthew 5:19
Remember that you, as parents and families, are the primary educators of your children and that we are here to help support you in being the "greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven" as you teach God's commands to your children. Take your daily bread (God gives you what you need to make it through today) and be AMAZING!
Eat. Pray. Play. Love. Teach.
Box Tops for Education
The final collection of the school year ends on May 27. Start to collect now and submit to the Main Office.

Tickets are $10 each and families have been given 15 tickets. Should you need more tickets, please just let us know. Tickets can be sold to anyone - we do not necessarily expect families to incur the cost of the tickets. Consider co-workers, neighbors, friends and relatives in this event that offers the chance of a big ROI (return on investment)! It only takes one ticket in the tumbler to win!
Finally, please remember the distinction (for ICS families who are ICC parishioners) between the Payday Sweepstakes drawing and the Carnival Raffle. If you are a parishioner of ICC you received a book of tickets for the Carnival as well. Please note that the raffles are not affiliated with one another and there is no obligation for ICS families to sell Carnival raffle tickets. Sorry for any confusion.
If you have questions, please contact the school office.
Matching Gift
Please consider helping us maximize the matching gift of $5,000 for our class set of iPads and a mobile cart to house them.
Please contact Mr. Zelenka (icsmzele@icstampa.org) or send a check, payable to ICS, to the office (memo: tablet cart), if you are able to make a donation.
Parents, you may consider following up with the grandparents of our ICS students to help with this cause.
In advance, we thank you for your consideration and generosity!
