Chicago International Charter School (CICS) Irving Park is a premier K-8 urban charter school in Chicago’s Irving Park neighborhood. Students come from all over the city, with many from Old Irving Park, Albany Park, Avondale, Portage Park, Jefferson Park, and Logan Square. CICS Irving Park is committed to collaborating with families and the community to create a positive school culture that inspires and prepares students for the future. On May 31, 2024, CICS Irving Park will host its annual spring fundraiser, the Puma Prowl Walk-A-Thon. Students will participate in a walk around the neighborhood surrounding the school. This is an exciting time for CICS-IP and the community as the school purchased the entire west side of the 3800 block of N. Spaulding late last year. By greatly expanding our footprint, the school will be expanding its offerings and providing more services for the community at large. And this is why we need the help from local businesses more than ever before! But before we can fundraise for any new initiatives, we are seeking donations to help fund air conditioners as most of the school is without. This year’s Puma Prowl Walk-A-Thon goal is to raise $15,000.
