Congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS to the iCademy Globetrotters Robotics Team! They have secured a spot competing at State Finals at Saginaw Valley State University beginning today, April 12th – April 14th. If you’d like to watch the action, here’s a link to the live stream. Be sure to select DTE Energy Field since that’s the the field where they will be playing. https://www.thebluealliance.com/

4th/5th Grade Students To Visit Detroit!

4th/5th Grade (optional) Field Trip: Ms. Michelle will be taking her students to the Detroit Zoo and a Tigers game on May 15-16. Due to this trip, there will be NO ONSITE TIME FOR 4th and 5th grade ONLY on Thursday, May 16. Thanks in advance!

Fundraising for Travel!

We are excited to offer students an opportunity to raise money to help pay for iCademy field experiences with a BULB SALE! And what a perfect time of the year. Students are able to save this money in their account until they are ready to use it for travel with iCademy. So if you are not going anywhere this year – you can still do it!

Here is how it works:

  1. Students share out the link below to all their family, friends, neighbors and anyone else and it doesn’t matter their location – it can be any state in the US.
  2. Once they have the link they sign up to buy some bulbs – during their sign up as they proceed to check out they put the student’s name down and 50% of what they spend goes directly into that student’s account.
  3. Once all the info is put in the bulbs get mailed directly to them – we have the fundraiser open until May 21st, but if they order before April 15, they get shipped pretty quickly after that day.
