The ICS Cookbook is Here!
The Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI) Committee at ICS is honored to present Volume One of the first-ever ICS Cookbook. This past spring, we solicited recipes and stories from you to represent and celebrate the diverse tapestry of our ICS community.
Food, people and culture are inseparable. We come from diverse backgrounds, varied experiences and different cultures—all with distinct traditions and customs—but food is the equalizer and binder. Food allows us to learn and discover, to connect and grow, and to gather at a communal table and break bread together.
We hope this cookbook inspires you to try new foods, flavors and dishes and break bread with your fellow ICS families and staff.
The thing I absolutely love about food is it’s a common thread that connects us no matter what culture we come from.
—Poh Ling Yeow, Malaysian-Australian Artist

DEI Family Survey
The DEI Committee was begun in 2021 to ensure ICS and the ICS PTSA provide fair and inclusive access to ICS programs, resources, and services as well as to foster and maintain a safe, respectful and inclusive environment for our students and the greater ICS community.
To that end, we’d respectfully ask that you and your student complete a short survey about your experience at ICS this past school year, especially as it pertains to DEI.
Some of the below questions are of a personal nature and may require a deeper discussion with your student. These questions surround serious topics of racism, inappropriate behavior and discrimination. We appreciate your efforts to answer the questions as openly and honestly as possible. All responses to the survey are anonymous.
Please reach out to DEI Committee Chair Mireille Baumoel at mbaumoel@icsptsa.org with further questions. Thank you! Fill out the survey here.
