ICS Fall Festival: We are so excited to announce the First Annual ICS FALL FESTIVAL!!!  This wonderful community event will take place at the high school campus on Saturday, November 15th from 8:00-1:00.  We will have a great day with our ICS families building a strong sense of community and just enjoying the beautiful fall weather in central Florida.  There will be a trunk sale, carnival games, entertainment and great BBQ.  All proceeds this day will go to the 2009 senior class to offset the cost of their senior class trip this year.  We would love for all of our families, Academic, E-zone, PSC, Elementary, Middle and High School to come on out for a day of fun and fellowship!  Look for more information to come through email, on the website and from your teachers.  

The ICS Fall Festival Trunk Sale is Saturday, November 15th.  Join us at 8:00 a.m., either as a seller or a buyer, and support the ICS High School.  Sellers will be opening the back of their vans or setting up a table in the ICS High School parking lot.  Empty out your extra items before Christmas, or come and look for some "recycled" gifts.  This will be just the beginning of a fun-filled day at the ICS High School.  To rent a spot for the day is $40.  For information regarding the selling of items or renting a spot for the day, please contact Huong Ha (zen2diva@yahoo.com) or Cathy DeWitt (catherinedewitt@gmail.com)
