Opportunity to support Mock Trial team

VOLUNTEERING
Thank you ICS parent volunteers! 
A big thank you to all volunteers who give their time and talent to make ICS an amazing community. While the family agreement includes a 30-hour minimum volunteer commitment, please consider giving additional time to continue   supporting our students and community throughout the entire school year; this is especially important for the productivity and success of long-term committees. 
 We recognize that volunteers may need to discontinue their work on a committee during the year. When possible, please give the committee chairperson adequate lead time to find a replacement as our volunteer positions are integral to our community's success and often impact the students of ICS directly. 
 We know that many families put in hours well above the minimum and for that we are very grateful. Thank you so much for all that you do and have a happy and restful holiday season!
