Thanks for a Special Year! 

It has been a busy 4+ months at ICS Addis and the first half of our school year is drawing to a close. All of us at ICS have a lot to be thankful for. Attentive and thoughtful teachers and teaching assistants interact with care and expertise with our children every day. Watchful and hard working maintenance crews make sure our facilities are safe, and repair problems quickly and expertly on a daily basis. Our setup crews prepared for dozens of assemblies, meetings and other events each week for students and teachers, with tents, tables, chairs, PA and projector systems, and much more…they completed more than 300 set up requests from our teachers and administrators in the first 80 days of school! Mulu Seifu and her Angel Farms team have made our campus a beautiful green oasis, and their potted poinsettias remind us all of the holiday season that is fast approaching. Parent volunteers have sponsored community-building events that keep ICS Addis a welcoming and special place. Our safety and security guards are proud of their record of safety in the school
parking lots.

It doesn’t take much time to say “thank you” to a teacher or a staff member. Our program at ICS Addis has grown in quality every year, and it’s because our staff members across the organization are committed to helping us become a great school. I encourage you to tell someone at ICS thanks for all their hard work on behalf of our students. Those simple words of appreciation encourage all of us to keep the standard high, and to keep working to make ICS Addis a better and better place to learn and grow.

Travel safely, enjoy a much-needed break and join us on January 9 for the first day of school in the new year!
