Holiday Season at the Kindergarten

The Kindergarten Reps hosted a lovely teacher appreciation Thanksgiving lunch.





An ICS family donated a Christmas tree and parents decorated the Kindergarten campus for Christmas soon after as well as helped prepare a Christmas gift for the whole staff of 200+. The MPR looked festive with decorations depicting the Christmas story and the children were adorable when presenting their Christmas skits and singing songs! We are thankful for all the parents that help!
