ICC Students Help at the Library

ICC student helps with cake decorating at the Doll Tea

ICC student helps Board President at the Doll Tea

During the past month three ICC Participatory Government students have performed their ten hours of community service, a course requirement, here at the library.  They have dusted books, a boring but very necessary task to prevent mold forming, typed spine labels and registration lists for the summer program, raked up last year’s leaves, helped a younger student with homework and most recently, assisted at the annual doll tea.   Our volunteer at the Doll Tea assisted by helping with the place card craft, arranging the  cupcakes which the girls had decorated at the tables and polishing nails in the manicure session.   All of the volunteers worked diligently, and they were a big help to staff.  Thank you to these Participatory Government students and their teacher.
