A Thank You to Our Charles City First Responders! 🚒🚓
We want to thank the Charles City Fire Department and Police Department for their quick response to a call at Immaculate Conception School at approximately 11:25 a.m. today.
A small issue involving a microwave meal caused some smoke and an unpleasant smell. Our students evacuated the building quickly and safely, and there was no harm or damage beyond the smell. Our local first responders arrived quickly and helped clear the smoke and smell from the area.
We are grateful for our students and staff responding quickly and safely, as well as for the professionalism and dedication of our Charles City Fire and Police Departments. Thank you for all you do to keep our school and community safe!

Hello IC Families, Parish Members, and Supporters,
Our Scrip program has been part of our school and parish community for many years. It has provided generous fundraising support to IC School and Faith Formation without requiring our students to sell products. We are very grateful to the families and parishioners who have supported Scrip over the years, as well as the dedicated volunteers who have given countless hours to make the program possible.
When the program began, rebates were higher and Scrip was used more widely by our school families and parish community. In recent years, however, participation and purchases have steadily declined. At the same time, the cost of shipping physical cards has increased, while the rebates received have decreased. Because the program was funded through the school's portion of the rebates, it has no longer generated enough to cover the time and resources needed to continue operating it. The Scrip Program has been operating in the RED for the last couple of years. There was no hope of seeing positive revenue in the months and years ahead.
After careful consideration, IC School has decided to discontinue Scrip as a school fundraiser.
Please note the following important dates and information:
Physical Card Pre-Orders: Paid pre-orders for physical cards will be accepted through September 30 at 4:00 p.m.
Pennies from Heaven: Local Pennies from Heaven must be spent by September 30.
Business Reimbursement: Businesses accepting Pennies from Heaven should turn in their paper Scrip by October 15 for payment.
Physical Cards in Inventory: Cards currently in our inventory will continue to be available for purchase while supplies last. Beginning Oct. 1, 100% of the rebate will be going directly to IC School.
Online eCards: Online eCards will remain available through Christmas, with 100% of the rebate going directly to IC School.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported Scrip throughout the years and especially to the volunteers who have generously shared their time and talents to make this program possible.
As we move forward, we will continue exploring other fundraising opportunities that can provide meaningful support and help to offset tuition costs for our families.
Thank you for supporting IC School and for helping make this program such a meaningful part of our school community over the years.
Blessings,
Fr. Ivan Nienhaus, IC School Board, Mrs. Laurie Field
