Please consider donating to this Donors Choose project to help give our students a GaGa ball pit! This project covers the brackets, structural composite board, rules, and balls. Gaga is a fast paced, high energy sport played in an octagonal pit. The game is played with a soft foam ball, and combines the skills of dodging, striking, running, and jumping, while trying to hit opponents with a ball below the knees. This was a game requested directly by students that will be built on the grass near the Rainbow Top! Find the project by clicking here!

FYI for any students (boys and girls, K-5th) who are interested in joining a local Cubscout troop. There are several CICS-IP families active with the troop and highly recommend it. Students can join at anytime, so don’t worry if you can’t make the first meeting on Sept. 22. Any questions, please let us know.

If your schedule allows, please join other CICS-IP families at Independence Park (3945 N Springfield) after the 1pm dismissal next Tues. We’ll gather under a shade tree closest to the playground. Bring a blanket or chair and snacks for your crew or enough to share (or just bring yourself and kids🙂) Super informal outing to reunite with those you know and/or to meet new families.

Thank you Puma Parents, families, friends, neighbors, and staff! It felt so good to have the Puma Prowl walk-a-thon back on campus and it couldn’t have been done without all of your support!

A little late with this post, but this is another example of why we love CICS-IP. Our school has been involved with the Chicago Children’s Choir for six years. Last week, we had 15 CICS-IP students performing with 1,500 other Chicago students at Millennium Park.
