Cajun Food to Go
While we won't be able to gather this year for our Mardi Gras Dinner Auction, we can still enjoy some wonderful Cajun food -- to go! Our Chef T will be cooking up gumbo, shrimp and grits, po' boy sandwiches, and bread pudding for to-go orders.
Order forms will be sent home with students tomorrow and are due back no later than Friday, Feb. 5. Food will be available for pickup on Thursday, Feb. 11, between 2-6pm here at ICCS or at 11am in Marian Hall on Sunday, Feb. 14. To avoid contact, food will be bagged with your name on it for you to pick up, and payment will be due in advance. To take a look at the menu and prices, access a printable version of the form HERE.
Mardi Gras Online Auction Donations Needed
With just a few weeks away from our online auction kickoff, we have received less than 10 auction items. As mentioned before, we will not have the opportunity this year to profit from ticket sales to an actual Mardi Gras event and are depending on a successful online auction. Our last few online auctions have done extremely well because we had a large variety of items in all price ranges. Please think about what you can donate or businesses you might ask to donate.
Click HERE for details on submitting items, suggested donations, and to access the online donation form.
Have you ordered your ICCS Mardi Gras T-shirts?
This year's Mardi gras T-shirts are available in two styles, two colors, and long or short-sleeves.Students will have a Mardi Gras out-of-uniform day on Friday, Feb. 5, when they will be able to wear their Mardi Gras shirt with jeans.
Visit the Etsy shop below to order your family's shirts. Be sure to type "School" in the coupon code for your shirts to be delivered to ICCS with free shipping.
Thanks to everyone who has supported the school with a little "Flamingo Fun." It's not too late to join in.
What is “flocking” and how does it work?
You make a donation of $25 to surprise someone with a flock of plastic flamingos in their yard.
The individual who was “flocked” can pay $20.00 to have them removed the following night -OR- can pay $25.00 to send the flock to a friend’s yard.
Flocking Insurance: If you would prefer to protect your yard from being flocked, pay $30.00 to be insured against the pink intruders.
Payments can be made online on the ICCS website through the payment portal. Just select “Flamingo Fundraiser” in the Payment Destination and type in the Comments Box whether your payment is to have a yard flocked, have a flock removed from your yard, have a flock removed from your yard and placed in a friend’s yard or if you are buying Flock Insurance. Be sure to provide the address of house to be flocked.
