February is traditionally a low point in the school year for students and teachers: the Christmas break is long past, and June remains a distant goal. Many schools like ICS will schedule special activities during February to raise everyone’s spirits. Middle and high school students are letting their spirits soar from February 15 to 19, in our annual Spirit Week activities.
