Immaculate Conception School -

Our IC Development Board raises funds through events to support our school. They provide many items and activities that are not part of the budget and we would not experience them without their funding. These range from but not limited to the Literacy Fair, Art Show, Science Night, and Catholic Schools Week activities. Over the next of couple days, we will introduce you to the board members that make the Development Board and thank them for what they do for our students and school.
