Mehregan Celebration 
 
Dear Parents,

Student-volunteers with the support of the Community and School Association of Iran Cultural and Educational Center (ICEC) and the instructional staff have prepared a short program in celebration of Mehregan that will take place on Saturday, October 15^th, in the All-Purpose Room of the school. Regretfully, we will not be able to extend the invitation to the parents, because of the limited space caused by the lack access to the stage, which means part of the main area will be used for the performances.  We hope this issue will be resolved by the time we celebrate Yalda on December 17th.

Sincerely,
ICEC
