Dear IACS Community,
As we enter Thanksgiving, I’d like to extend my thanks for choosing IACS. We are a community united not by a zip code, but rather a sense that schools can and should develop outcomes relevant long after graduation. This work cannot be accomplished without your ongoing support.
In the past week you should have received a mailing announcing the launch of our Annual Giving Campaign (AGC). Supporting our AGC allows us to keep our operating budget focused on the staff and programs that most directly impact our students and minimize the impact of capital costs, such as renovating our front staircase. As you may be aware, there is a movement designed to inspire charitable donations on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving- “Giving Tuesday”.
I hope our entire community, immediate and extended, will consider supporting our AGC this Tuesday.
In partnership,
Greg Orpen
Head of School
Emma’s Giving Tree
This holiday season, a mitten tree fundraiser will be running from Monday, November 27th to Thursday, December 21st to help donate gifts and living essentials to those in need. The gifts will be donated to local families with infants all the way through teens.
How it works! The mitten tree along with the donation box can be found in the cafeteria.
If you would like to donate without taking a mitten, gloves, hats, diapers, infant pajamas and winter-wear is greatly appreciated. Once again, make sure it is all NEWLY PURCHASED AND UNWRAPPED.
Thank you so much for your participation, Let’s make it even better than last year!
