Dear St. Ignatius Families:
Time surely has a way of getting away from us. There are only 29 more days of school left until the summer break! May we remember this month to pray the Rosary in honor of the Blessed Mother. Our children will pray the rosary outside daily, weather permitting.

Dear St. Ignatius Families,
Miss Grundy and I wanted to give you a recap of how our Reading Olympics teams for this school year. Our elementary team the Reading Heroes earned a red ribbon with a score of 49 points. Our elementary team the Rad Reading Rabbits earned a blue ribbon with a score of 64 points (a St. Ignatius School record). Our middle school team the NaCl Whales earned a blue ribbon with a score of 52 points. Thank you to all of the parents who supported the students as well as to Mrs. Booz, Mrs. Fiduccia, and Mrs. Ginter who volunteered to serve as moderators and score keepers at the Reading Olympics competitions. We also appreciate the support of the Home and School Association in providing our t-shirts. We look forward to further success in the 2017-2018 school year.
Have a great week!

Home and School Nominations:
Dear St. Ignatius Parents,
Happy Spring! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter holiday. It seems hard to believe but we are quickly closing in on the end of the school year so there is some Home and School business I wanted to share.
ELECTIONS
It's time to line up the Home & School Board for the 2017-2018 school year which means, it's time for nominations!!! Nadine Bontempo and I will be continuing in our positions as Treasurer and President for a second year. A special thank you goes out to Janet Padula and Jackie Racz have completed their terms as Vice President and Secretary, respectively, as well as Maggie Deeds, Megan Sweitzer and Dorothy Aschenbrenner who have served their terms as Board Chairs. We truly appreciate all that each of them have done to serve our school, children and families!
At this time, we are looking for anyone interested in any of the following positions:
-
VICE PRESIDENT
- as a member of the Executive Board, the Vice President is to perform the duties of the President whenever the President is absent. The Vice President is also responsible for planning school assemblies or guest speakers with Mrs. DiTommaso, Mr. Merrick and the Rectory, and works with the Physical Education Teacher to plan Field Day.
-
SECRETARY
- as a member of the Executive Board, the primary responsibility of the Secretary is to record minutes of monthly Home & School Board meetings, and handle any correspondence as directed by the board.
-
SCHOOL ASSISTANCE BOARD CHAIR
- with the assistance of the Executive Board, the role of the School Assistance Board Chair is to provide guidance as needed to the following committees: DARE, Yearbook, Uniform Closet, Recess Duty Coordinator and Room Parent Coordinator. This individual then provides updates from these committees to the Board as needed. Furthermore, this individual is also responsible for acting as the "Sunshine Chair," providing birthday cards to faculty and staff and Mass cards as appropriate. All supplies to carry out this duty are provided to the individual by the Home & School Association.
-
SUPPLEMENTAL BOARD CHAIR
- with the assistance of the Executive Board, the primary role of the Supplemental Board Chair is to provide guidance as needed to the following committees: Box Tops, Parish Picnic, Book Fair, Turkey Bingo, Santa Secret Shop, Faculty Appreciation, Science Fair and Scrip. This individual then provides updates from these committees to the Board as needed.
As you considering taking on one of these roles, keep in mind that two individuals can co-serve in any one of these positions. Furthermore, while each is a one-year commitment, incumbents are always given the option to continue for a second year.
We hope that you will consider serving in one of these open positions.
It is a great way to get involved in the school and help support the Home & School Association in supporting the students, teachers and families of St. Ignatius School! If you have any questions or would like to learn more about any of the openings, please contact me or any of the current board members. Finally, while nominations of others are also welcome, we ask that you discuss this with the individual prior to nominating them.
Thank you for your ongoing support of Home & School!
