🎶✨ Holiday Sing-A-Long Reminder! ✨🎶

Good evening, ILCS families and community members! This is a friendly reminder that our ILCS Holiday Sing-A-Long is tomorrow at 2:00 PM in the gymnasium. This beloved tradition is open to the community, and we can’t wait to celebrate the season together with our greater ILCS family!

🎤 If you plan to take your child home following the sing-a-long, please be sure to send in a bus note in the morning to help keep dismissal running smoothly during this busy holiday time.

📋 As always, visitors should sign in at the Main Office before heading to the gym for the festive fun!

We look forward to singing, smiling, and sharing the joy of the season with you all! 🎄🎶

Reminder:

Tomorrow kicks off the ILCS Student Council's Holiday Spirit Week 🎅🏻 🎄

Please join us in congratulating Ms. Mary Benton-Frasier on her new position at ILCS! We are so fortunate to have her in our ILCS family!

Please join me in welcoming Trisha Husson as our new Cafeteria Cook Manager. Trisha brings great energy and experience to our team, and we are excited for the positive impact she will have on our meal program.

We also want to congratulate Mary Frasier as she transitions into her new role as our School Nurse. Mary’s dedication to our students makes her an excellent fit for this position.

We are thrilled to have both Trisha and Mary stepping into these essential roles. Please offer them a warm welcome as they begin this next chapter at our school!

Let's GO Orange Nation!

Due to the weather, all after school activities have been canceled for December 10th.

At the end of each sports season, the NYSPHSAA honors those teams and individuals who excel in the classroom. Those student-athletes, teams, and schools work very hard throughout the year and deserve to be recognized for their academic success. To receive Scholar-Athlete team recognition with a certificate, the team’s average GPA for 75% of the roster must be greater than or equal to 90.00. Both Orange varsity basketball teams met the criteria to be recognized this past fall. Our Indian Lake individual scholar-athletes for this past soccer season were Abigail Hall and Mason Fredette. Congratulations and keep up the hard work, athletes!

There will be no BOCES runs or field trips today due to the weather.

⛷️ Ski Lesson Reminder! For any ski kids who need rentals, please plan to be at the mountain this Sunday at 11:30 AM to get fitted before their lesson. Thanks so much—we’re looking forward to a great day on the slopes! ❄️⛷️ From Abby Eichler

The best way to spread HOLIDAY cheer is singing loud for all to hear! Please consider joining us for this joyous occasion - don't forget to sign-in in the Main Office before joining us in the gymnasium!

This holiday season, our ILCS community has once again shown incredible kindness and generosity. Thanks to your support, we have raised hundreds of dollars for Operation Santa Claus and our local Salvation Army—directly helping families in need right here in our Local Communities. We are also wrapping up our Winter Coat Drive this week, and we are grateful for every donation of new or gently used cold-weather gear.

Looking ahead, our NHS and NJHS students will be bell-ringing for the Salvation Army on December 11th, just before the Holiday concert.
We hope to see you there!

Thank you for your continued support.
Your kindness truly makes a difference.
