"Thank you to the Indian Creek Educational Foundation for sponsoring professional musicians to come work with the Indian Creek Middle Schools bands for a day! All three grades were able to have a small group sectional with a clinician. Students learned new tips and tricks specific to their instrument. Afterwards, we came together for a full band rehearsal where they were able to play side by side with a professional. It was an awesome experience of learning new skills and making music together."

"A huge shoutout to the Indian Creek Education Foundation for awarding Mrs. Thompson a grant for clay! Our students had an amazing time creating: • Kindergarten made colorful air-dry clay lollipops • First grade explored low-fire kiln clay by stepping on it to create unique shoe impressions—then turning them into necklaces and magnets • Second grade crafted their infamous clay bowls Everything turned out incredible! I’m so proud of the creativity and effort our students showed throughout these projects. Thank you to the foundation for supporting the arts and helping make learning fun, hands-on, and engaging for our students!"

"Thank you to the Indian Creek Education Foundation for the grant that helped take our live morning announcements to the next level! We're now able to show announcements in the cafeteria so all students can see them while enjoying breakfast. This upgrade has made our announcements more engaging, more visible, and a better start to the day for everyone!"

"We are incredibly grateful to the Indian Creek Education Foundation for funding new blacklights and rear projection equipment for the Indian Creek High School Performing Arts Department! Because of their support, our students were able to create glowing costumes, magical transformations, and immersive backdrops for their production of Disney’s Descendants. These upgrades don’t just add “wow” factor onstage; they also give our students hands-on training in UV lighting and digital projection, expanding learning opportunities in stage technology for years to come. This investment will enhance future shows, concerts, classes, and school events while opening the door to more creative storytelling and innovative design. Thank you for believing in our students and helping us create a little more theatre magic at Indian Creek!"

"Thank you, ICEF! With your awesome grant, our ICES STEM students will be able to conduct more experiments than ever before. We will learn how to create invisible ink, discover glowing tonic water, explore how magnets and batteries can power motors, and revisit some favorites from last year. The activities made possible by the ICEF’s generosity are consistently the kids’ favorite things we do in STEM. I am deeply grateful to have received the grant, and I am thrilled about how happy it will make our students. Thank you for continuing to make our schools a better place for our students and teachers. You are making a difference and helping to create the future scientists of tomorrow!"

- Mr. Knight, Indian Creek Elementary School STEM Teacher

"Thank you ICEF for the grant! We were able to purchase a camera that is also compatible with videos and vlogging! We loved getting to use it to take photos for our last edition of the student newspaper and are looking forward to using it on our future projects as we grow the program!"

"Miss Elmore’s class has been enjoying the new math games made possible through the support of the Education Foundation. These games are designed to engage learners at all levels, allowing students to adjust the level of difficulty while playing together. Students are enthusiastically strategizing to compete with their peers while also strengthening a variety of math skills through the use of multiple mathematical operations. Their excitement and engagement have been outstanding—so much so that they are often reluctant to stop and clean up! Thank you for your generous support and for making such a positive impact on our classroom."

"Thank you, Indian Creek Education Foundation! We are incredibly grateful to the Indian Creek Education Foundation for awarding a grant to our Advanced Physical Conditioning (APC) program at Indian Creek Middle School! Because of their support, we were able to acquire additional equipment for the weight room. These additions allow us to fully utilize our half racks and safely teach foundational barbell movements like squats, presses, and deadlift variations to our 7th and 8th grade students. This equipment goes far beyond lifting weights. The APC program is designed to build strong foundations — physically, mentally, and athletically. This investment directly impacts our students every single day in the weight room. We are thankful for a foundation that believes in investing in student growth and lifelong wellness."

- Mr. Hessman, Indian Creek Middle School, APC Teacher
