Students of Catholic schools sometimes spend Catholic Schools Week wearing crazy hats and miss-matched socks. It's the one week each school year when students and teachers alike are allowed, if not encouraged, to go a bit wild within the school walls. Though students at Immaculate Conception School in East Aurora (ICEA) eagerly participate in the just-for-fun activities, they also set aside a day that week for service.
