Year of The American Dream

As teachers, we often have the joy of hearing the hopes and dreams of our students.  Sometimes those dreams are short-term:  a new bicycle, a first car, better grades.  And sometimes they are further in the future:  going to college, getting a first job, achieving a much-desired career.  Adults also have dreams:  a new house, education for their children, a comfortable retirement.

At ICEE, we provide students with critical skills and knowledge to help those dreams come true.  Economic understanding is truly FUNdamental for young people!  If they learn wise decision-making skills at an early age, they will be much better prepared to make the choices necessary to achieve their goals

This is ICEE’s year of The American Dream.  Our focus throughout is to see that more children have an opportunity to make their dreams come true.  Every teacher is an essential part of this work.  ICEE can provide you with the training and materials to teach these essential skills to your students within your reading, math, or social studies curriculum.

We invite you to join us in the year of The American Dream, to experience the true joy of seeing your students’ dreams come true.
