<p><strong><br />
Dear Parents,<br />
</strong>Greetings from Immaculate as we welcome the month of May!   Last evening  our<strong> Pinstripe Benefit</strong> was a wonderful testament to the ICS spirit!  On the field our All Star readers stood proudly as Derek Jeter congratulated them for their outstanding efforts!  Off the field our 8th grade ballroom dancers dazzled our  guests in the party suite!  Thank you to all the families who came to support Team ICS and to Mr. Rodier and the staff who organized and hosted the event!   It made us all proud to be ICS!  <strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">Other exciting April “happenings” included:  an inspiring song and reflections on our Bullying Prevention Program by our 6th graders at the Honors Assembly and an Art Exhibition at Lincoln Hospital featuring many of our students’ art work.  In addition our Vision Step Team performed at competitions bringing home several trophies and our 4th, 6th and 8th graders completed the NYS Math and ELA tests.  It definitely was a busy month!  And now on to May….</p>
<p><strong>Here are some of the May highlights…..<br />
</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>May 9 – Yankee game for honor students in Gr.4-8 (see permission slip for details)</li>
<li>May 15 – The final tuition payment #10 is due in New Jersey by May 15.  No personal checks will be accepted at school after May 20th.  All year end bills need to paid by June 1st.  No report cards will be issued unless all bills have been paid. No caps and gowns will be distributed to 8th graders with outstanding bills.</li>
</ul>
<ul>

<li>May 19 – <strong>First Communion</strong> 9:30 AM</li>
<li>May 21st – Yankee game for READ tutors  6 PM</li>
<li>May 23– ICS Annual Talent Festival will be held  at 5:00 PM.  Many students will be performing, including the Eagle Band and Vision Step Team.  In  conjunction with the musical talent we will also celebrate student writing and art work  at our  Literacy Fair.  There will also be hot dogs, soda, snacks, face painting, as well as a 50/50 raffle and more! Admission will be $5.00 for adults and $2.00 for children (over 3) who are not  performing.  Come and join the ICS families for an evening of fun and entertainment and help raise money for your child’s school!</li>
