REPEATED ARTICLES

Coming Soon! Sports Club at ICS

Isn't it exciting and one of the most awaited wish list items for your Kids? I am sure it is as we all know: Sports, whether team-based or individual, are a great activity for children that provide a variety of benefits other than physical activity. We are here to promote and develop an interest in sports or physical activities in students to build healthy sporting habits. Sports is the best in fighting stress. After spending several hours in class, a student needs some time to refresh the mind. Students are full of energy, all of which cannot be spent in studies only. Sports are the outlets of surplus energy. You can reach Sports Club at sports@icsptsa.org

Advocacy Committee: Chairperson(s) Needed

One or two parents are needed to lead the PTSA Advocacy Committee. Members of this committee serve as community advocates for ICS and its students and bring community information back to our school.

Sharing learned information might involve sending a summary to the ICS PTSA Board and/or posting article(s) in the ICS PTSA weekly newsletter. Please contact ICS PTSA VP Of Information Support, Tom Resing, if you are interested in this position or have any questions.
