VOLUNTEER
APPRECIATION
Thank
you for your many contributions that make Island Creek Elementary such a wonderful
school and learning environment for our students.
On Monday, April 23rd - 10:30-1:30,
we will celebrate your many contributions with a luncheon in the ICES
Theater. Arrival during your child’s lunch time will allow the teacher to join
you for this special event. We look forward to seeing you!
LAST CHANCE TO ORDER A YEARBOOK
Please order
NOW to ensure your student gets a yearbook! We cannot guarantee extra
copies of the yearbook will be available.
It’s easy to

Island Creek and begin the order.
ENERGY ZONE
While Northern Virginia is
still grasping the idea of Spring this year, this season always brings
excitement for Food and Nutrition Services. We often get asked the question,
“how do you decide what goes on the breakfast/lunch menu?” All items that go on
the school nutrition menu must be “student-approved.” We use this time of year
to receive student feedback for the next school year. Our nutritionist has been
feverishly visiting schools across the county for our “student-approved” menu.
We have tested items such as Korean beef, falafel, and breakfast sandwiches.
In addition to student taste
and preference, we have meal pattern requirements and financial considerations
that must be met. Our hope is that as our program continues to grow we can
offer students more of what they like while upholding our commitment to fresh
and local.
There are many school-based events to celebrate this spring as well. The Action for Healthy Kids “Every Kid Healthy Week,”
(April 23-27) coincides with Earth Day on April 22. Schools are encouraged to celebrate by hosting a
family fitness night, health fair or plant a school garden. There are also
numerous resources available on the USDA Team Nutrition website.
Fruits and Veggies More Matters gives suggestions on
“5 Fruits and Veggies Kids
Can Easily Grow”:
1.
Tomatoes (seeds packets)
2.
Cucumbers (seeds packets)
3.
Carrots (seeds packets)
4.
Watermelon
5. Cantaloupe
There are also several tasks
children can participate in to help in the garden. With some assistance,
children can plant, water, rake, harvest and measure. Research shows that when
students grow their food, they are more likely to eat it. As we grow a
generation of healthy eaters it is vitally important that students understand
where their food comes from and the environmental impacts.
SAVE THE DATE - MUSIC OPEN HOUSE
You are cordially invited to attend a music class with your child!
The music open house week invites parents to sing, move, and play with their
child in a typical lesson and will give you an opportunity to experience
general music here at Island Creek and learn ways to support your child’s music
learning at home. This is not a formal performance but rather a glimpse at what
we have been learning this year in music.
The music open houses will take place from Monday, April 30th to
Friday, May 4th, 2018. Below, you will find a schedule listing your child’s
homeroom teacher and the date of their open house. Please be sure to check in
with the office before coming to the music classrooms. Mrs. Cuthbertson’s
classroom is room 242 on the second floor and Ms. Rigby’s classroom is in the
theatre on the first floor.
If you have any
questions please contact Mrs. Cuthbertson at ancuthbertso@fcps.edu
or Ms. Rigby at lbrigby@fcps.edu.
