4th Annual Irish Cup Championship
Thursday and Friday, May 4 and 5, is our 4th Annual Irish Cup Championship. Our four ICS Priories - Holy Hawks, Holy Owls, Mighty Griffins and Elephants - are competing in the final events of this year-long competition.
As a way to celebrate this community building activity, ICS students and teachers will once again receive Priory t-shirts that this year will feature our 4 mascots. To help offset the costs of these shirts, we are asking for a donation of $5 per student. Please send the money in to the Main Office if you have not already done so. Thank you!
Furthermore, please help us offset the cost of the overall event. Any other donations are welcomed and appreciated!
We are Community Members!
We are ICS!

REMINDER: Attention: Middle School Families
Attention ICS Middle School Parents and Families (and all parents and families so that you can be aware):
There is a show on Netflix that your child has either watched and/or been exposed to given its recent popularity: 13 Reasons Why. Please be sure that you preview this content (and all content) before allowing your child to watch it. Also, please read through these posts for more insights on how to navigate these troubling topics with your child:

If you have any questions, please contact either Mr. Zelenka or Mrs. Riek.
REMINDER: Fidget Spinners
ICS embraces a Dynamic Learning Environment that allows for students to stand, move, and have choice in their seats. Lessons are designed with an understanding of how our brains learn best and our instructional strategies reflect this philosophy. One of the latest trends in our educational world is a "fidget spinner". Intended to help students focus, the "spinner" allows students to move without having to get up out of their seats.
Unfortunately, though, it is more a trend than it is a proven educational tool. Teachers will grant permission for students to use fidget spinners brought to ICS on a case by case basis. If you have any specific questions about this trend please contact either Mr. Zelenka or Mrs. Riek.
