VOLUNTEERING
Co-Chairperson Needed for ICS Cleaning Committee
Cold and flu season is upon us. Help fight those ICS germs by serving as a co-chair for our interior cleaning committee: "The Legion of Broom." In this position, you will work with your co-chair and our wonderful school maintenance staff to plan, organize, and carry out several deep-cleaning parties (outside of school hours). This is a popular volunteer activity for ICS families, and online signups can be used to organize volunteers. Also, much of the planning work can be done from home. Having previous experience with our Legion of Broom is certainly a plus, but it is not required. If you are interested in this co-chair opportunity, please contact Volunteer Coordinator, Julie Kotler.

FROM THE PTSA
Left a Dish? Check the PTSA Room 
If you have left behind a serving dish from an event at school, please stop by the PTSA room (counseling hallway, first room on the right) before winter break to pick it up. All unclaimed dishes will be donated after the break.

You're Invited: 2017 LWPTSA Scholarship Basket Auction! 
The 2017 LWPTSA Scholarship Basket Auction takes place on Thursday, December 7th, 10 - 11 AM in the LWRC Lobby. Complimentary coffee drinks will be served starting at 8 AM. For more information, check out the LWPTSA basket auction event flyer here.
