ICPC Dinner

The Mayfair Event

For a while now, the ICPC has been struggling with a little dilemma: how to get parents of Preschoolers more involved in the IC community.

After yet another brainstorming session, the answer came quite simply. Let’s invite them to have fun with their children on IC’s beautiful campus, more specifically the Preschool playground. As the word spread, many parents volunteered to help out, under the theme of “love to recycle: how to make the world a cleaner and safer place.”

On May 9th, Pre-school and Lower Elementary children showed up to IC accompanied by their families.

Many organizations also got involved in the event.

Sukleen, for one, placed bins to collect old PE clothes. These would later be recycled into mattresses for the needy (the bins would remain for another two weeks). Next, it placed an up-cycling vending machine. With every water bottle dropped, students received small prizes.

Another company, Krafty Kids, provided all sorts of leftover material allowing students to create artistic masterpieces.

C2C created many game stations and students rotated from one station to another.

Just in case the little tykes got hungry – which they did - Trilica and Marget - provided a healthy buffet.

Moreover, students were allowed a rare treat: painting a wall by the Pre-school playground using green and safe lead-free paints offered by “ColorTek.”

It was all too much for the young participants. As one girl stated, “recycling turns things into other things, which is magic.” And so, with the great success of the Mayfair, the ICPC can finally rest. Not so. They have to start planning for their fundraising dinner taking place only a week away.
