Loyola Letterhead


Hello,

Periodically throughout the summer, we will be sending out a condensed version of our weekly newsletter to let everyone know what is happening at Loyola. 

A few program updates start off this week's newsletter:  I have made the decision starting in the 2019-2020 school year to stop the PK-8 Spanish program as it currently exists. This includes the diffic ult decision to not renew the contract of  PK-8 Spanish teacher Angie Lundgren. Our administration and academic committee's next step will be to re-evaluate a foreign language plan for our school system. We wish Angie all of the best moving forward and very dearly thank her for her wonderful contributions to Loyola in and out of the classroom and being an outstanding co-worker for the staff who worked with her.

Barbara Rolfing was brought in during this past school year to lead our high school Spanish program and has been asked back next year. We will work with Barbara to ensure our high school Spanish language program is set up for excellence and properly resourced in her first full year at Loyola. Administration, including myself where I have an elementary Spanish background will work with our homeroom teachers to incorporate some foreign language into their PK-6 classrooms.

We are happy to announce we have extended an offer for the 7-12 choir position vacated by Bridget Hermer. We hope to announce details in the coming days regarding this position.

We will continue our girls basketball co-op with Nicollet next year. There will be a new head coach at the helm: Jordan Rudenick. We are excited about his energy and passion for the game and feel very confident that will translate well on and off the court for our girls basketball program. Jordan was able to meet recently with the Loyola girls basketball participants.

I hope you summer vacations are off to great starts! It will soon get back to being busy around here as we await the start of Summer Clubhouse on the Hill! Continued good luck to our spring sports participants as they are in section competition season.

Sincerely,

Adam Bemmels
School Leader/Preschool-12 Principal
