INSTITUTE FOR COLLABORATIVE EDUCATION A MEMBER OF THE COALITION OF ESSENTIAL SCHOOLS Dear Friends of ICE, ICE is not your ordinary New York City public school. ICE draws kids from families all over New York City who are looking for a small learning environment, which offers middle and high school students the creativity and flexibility of a private education within the NYC Public School System. But ICE is still a public school and like most public schools, we need to raise money every year to subsidize the academic and social needs of our kid s. These funds support a variety of things, including the music and art programs, materials for the classroom, offcampus trips and clubs like Robotics, Japanese Club, Computer Coding, Debate and lots of Sports Teams. It’s our belief that offering extra programs now will enhance the richness of our community as our kids grow older. We invite you to donate merchandise or a service for the annual silent auction at our biggest fundraiser event of the year, The Spring Fling. It’s a great way to get involved with supporting your community. Your contributions are tax deductible to the ICE Foundation. Our TAX ID# is 841649363. Please use the enclosed form to let us know the details of your donation.

If your donation is an item that needs special handling please contact us and we will arrange for pickup.
