Dear Icahn Families,
As we step into the month of May, I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible dedication and resilience of our students, families, and the amazing staff at the Icahn Charter Schools. With each school visit I’ve made, I’ve witnessed teaching and learning at its finest—engaging, inspiring, and purposeful.
A special shout-out goes to Mrs. Carasquillo-Silen and her wonderful team at Icahn Charter School 2 for inviting me to their annual Science Fair. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, learning about the students' projects and listening to their thoughtful presentations. Each student was well-prepared and eager to share both their work and the inspiration behind it. It was truly a testament to the hard work of our students and the guidance of their educators.
April is also a time of important academic milestones—state exams, spring projects, and end-of-year preparations are all in full swing. We continue to encourage our students to stay focused and give their very best. I ask that you, too, continue to support and motivate them as we move through this critical time.
As the days grow longer and the weather begins to warm, I hope you’ll also take the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful city—whether that’s by visiting a zoo, a museum, or simply spending time in a local park.
As always, thank you for your continued support.
Best,
Mr. Cunningham
