					<description><![CDATA[We are excited to be able to once again hold our annual school picnic this year!  The IDCS picnic has been a beloved tradition for 25 years.  It is a time for IDCS Families, Students and Staff to get together, have some fun and eat some great food.  
The entire IDCS student body will be traveling to Harkness Memorial Park in Waterford, CT.  We will leave the school at 9:00  a.m. and return to school by 1:45 p.m.  We are encouraging families to drive to and from the picnic if at all possible because we have a limited number of buses.  Read on to sign up to attend and volunteer.  We are expecting 100% of families to complete this form.]]></description>
