The class that raises the most money (1 from each grade level), will get an ice cream party!
The student who raises the most money (1 from each grade level), will get to pick a staff member to make into an ice cream sundae!
If we reach our goal of $15,000---everyone will get an ice cream treat!!

Background Checks
In an effort to keep our schools safe, all volunteers must have a background check completed and on file with the school. To volunteer in the classroom, chaperone field trips or attend classroom parties, you must have a background check done. Important: A new background check must be done every school year. Also, this background check is only for ICES. Meaning, if you have a child in another building, you will need to complete one for that building too.

Food Assistance
Food Pantry - Volunteers Needed
The Braves Food Pantry is up and running and in need of volunteers! By partnering with Gleaners Food Bank, we are able to distribute food three times per month, twice at the Indian Creek Learning Center and once at the ICHS parking lot. Volunteering with the Braves Pantry is a great way to give back to our local community. Please register through the volunteer link. Thank you!
