Fall Giving Campaign

icsatlanta1stgrade
It is time for our annual Fall Giving Campaign! ICSAtlanta relies on the support of our families and the community to provide an innovative educational experience for our students. We do not sell cookie dough or gift wrap, but we do ask that each family give as you are able during the Fall Giving Campaign. Our goal is 100% participation for $100,000! We can reach our goal if we receive $125 for every student. Each class with 100% giving participation (with a donation of $25 or more) will receive an ice cream party and the teacher will receive a prize! Your donation will count for the homeroom of every child in your family. We have great giving incentives like an exclusive ICSAtlanta blanket and free entrance to the pasta dinner and silent auction in March. You can make a one-time donation or sign up for monthly donations. Your total anticipated donation between now and May will be counted towards these incentives. Please see www.icsatlanta.org/fallgiving and make your donation today!
 

Thank you for your help to make the Fall Giving Campaign a huge success! Please email Michele Neely with any questions.

Hat Day

Our students have been working hard to show positive behaviors and have earned enough blue tickets for our first School Wide Reward! All classes were given the chance to vote, and they chose HAT DAY!

On Friday, October 11th the Lower Campus will have Hat Day! Your student may wear the hat of his or her choice to school in celebration of our hard work!
