Dear Middle School Parents,
As we enter the Thanksgiving break, I find myself reflecting on the many blessings we share at our school. This time of year serves as a wonderful reminder to pause and express our gratitude for the people and experiences that enrich our lives. Whether it’s the laughter of our students in the hallways, the dedication of our teachers, or the support of our families, there is so much to be thankful for. This spirit of gratitude not only fosters a positive environment but also encourages us to uplift one another.
In our faith, we are reminded of the importance of thankfulness. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, we are encouraged to "rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." As we enjoy a couple extra days without classes this Thanksgiving, let us remember the profound gift of Jesus, who teaches us to love and serve one another as a Christian community.
This season, may we embrace gratitude in our hearts and share kindness and compassion within our school community and beyond. Wishing you all a joyful Thanksgiving break filled with love and time together as a family.
Blessings,
Will Schroeder
Middle School Principal

A Beautiful Tradition:
A Beautiful Tradition:
Decorate Our Theatre & Celebrate Christ's Birth
Decorate Our Theatre & Celebrate Christ's Birth
For years, it has been a cherished ICS tradition for families to order poinsettias that transform our theatre into a festive wonderland for the Christmas concerts.
These stunning plants (priced from $45-$80) do more than just decorate our stage; they are a living testament to our joy as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. By participating, you are directly helping to create a joyful and worshipful atmosphere for our students and the entire community.
Your poinsettia plays three important roles:
It Decorates Our Theatre: Your poinsettia will be placed at the front of the stage, creating a beautiful and festive frame for our performers and spreading joy throughout the concerts.
It Comes Home with You: After the final concert on Dec 18, you can collect your poinsettia from the JLL security office (8 am - 5 pm) to enjoy at home.
It Spreads Love: If you prefer not to collect it, we will donate your poinsettia to an NGO in the Shatin area, sharing the love of the season with the wider community.
This is a simple and meaningful way to contribute. The cost will be conveniently charged to your school bill next month. We are in the final days to place our order. Let’s come together to fill our theatre with the spirit of Christmas.
