Happy Thursday!
It was definitely a busy week at ICS. Our first graders went to the Willows for their Annual Christmas caroling. The residents always enjoy listening to our students as they sing Christmas songs.
As a school, we donated over 750 hats, gloves, and mittens to Pass It On. Congratulations to the fifth graders--they brought in the most and won a popcorn bar.
Our students did a wonderful job in the program this afternoon and evening. As always, Mrs. Schuster is able to put together an incredible performance!
Tomorrow morning, we will start the day in Mass and then move into Houses. Our students will be given their House shirts tomorrow--shh, kind of a secret! They will be able to wear them tomorrow, and then will bring them home. In the future, we will let you know when we will be having Houses so the students can wear their shirts to school.
We are excited about the preschool program tomorrow morning (10 am)-- what a fun time with our youngest Saints.
We hope that all of our Saints use Christmas break to sell lots of the Calendar Raffle tickets!
I hope to see you all at Mass a lot while on break (three weekend Masses, Christmas, and the Solemnity of Mary, oh my!).
On behalf of the staff at Immaculate Conception, I wish you all a blessed Christmas. See you back here in 2026!
Hot lunch is available daily in our cafeteria. The lunch menu for the week we return to school is chicken tenders on Monday, tacos on Tuesday, French toast on Wednesday, corn dog on Thursday, and Johnny Marzetti on Friday. January lunch menu
NEWS WORTH REPEATING
Families are invited to come to First Friday Devotions on the first Friday of every month for a Holy Hour that includes Eucharistic Adoration, Evening Prayer, and Benediction. The next First Friday is January 2 from 5:30-6:30 pm.
We are asking all students to sell at least 10 tickets each for the Annual Calendar Basket Raffle. Our School Calendar Raffle is a huge fundraiser for our school, with 100% of the proceeds going back to ICS. With the support of our school families, parish families, and local businesses, we are able to have 28 incredible baskets (one for each day in February) valued at over $100 each. A winner will be drawn daily through the month of February. The ticket pulled will win the prize listed on the date it was drawn. The winning ticket is placed back in the drawing pool so it has a chance to be drawn and win again (28 drawings and 28 chances to win per ticket). All winners are announced on social media (ICS Facebook). Winners will also be contacted directly via phone. $10 tickets can be purchased now through the end of February 2026.
Immaculate Conception Church is currently seeking a sacred music minister. This is a part-time or full-time position supervised by the Pastor. Responsibilities include forming and leading parish cantors & choirs in coordination with parish clergy; managing music-related administrative tasks like scheduling and budget oversight; directing training and rehearsals; maintaining instruments.
