Dear St. Ignatius Community:

Thank you to all who were able to come out and publicly demonstrate your love for the Blessed Mother.

Dear St. Ignatius Families, 

      It was great to see so many in attendance at our spring concert and art show this past Monday. I have to recognize the stage crew who made the performance possible. Colin (5th), Hannah (8th), and Ines (8th) operated the curtain flawlessly; Katie (8th), Kiera (8th), and Neil (5th) worked the spotlight with diligence; and Erin (6th) engineered and mixed the sound, which made it possible for everyone to hear our students' voices. I could not have run the stage without these students. 

       I wish to also especially acknowledge Hannah (8th) for her four years of service as a stage crew member; she was dependable and always on-the-ball. She always did what was necessary, often without me having to ask. Thank you, Hannah, for your dedication. 

       I also want to publicly thank Erin (6th) for her work on the sound. Erin committed herself to not only being trained on our new sound equipment, but she had the confidence to operate it in front of an audience of her peers and adults. Great work, Erin!

       Please join us tomorrow evening for the spring Home and School General Assembly meeting. We have been working on a new technology plan for the next two years (it's hard to project much further in this fast-paced world), and I will be presenting that tomorrow. 
 
      Have a great week!
