The Annual Auction Class Contest runs January 29th – February 24th.

Weekly: Each week the class with the most beads purchased wins coffee for their teachers!
End of Contest: The winners of the contest will be announced on February 26th.

The class with the highest percentage of students participating wins a donut party!

The class with the highest number of beads sold wins a pizza party!

ARRUPE MARKET

During the St. Ignatius Open House be sure stop by and support the 2024 class ARRUPE MARKET - Sunday, January 28.

Learn about the Arrupe Project and the organizations these young men and women for others are supporting.

Hungry after Mass? Looking for a gift for your mom, dog, or friend? Enjoy some delicious food and purchase unique crafts and help the students raise money for their non-profits.

Based upon Catholic Social Teaching, Scripture (Matthew 25), and the Corporal Works of Mercy, the goal of the Arrupe Project is to empower students to become men and women for others through faith, service, and justice.

This year, the 36 Students of the Class of 2024 felt called to support these 33 organizations.

FREE THROW CONTEST

Light the Beam! Last week, 3rd-8th grade students participated in the 2024 Knights of Columbus Free Throw Contest during PE. Each student attempted 15 free throws to be the top shooter in their age group. Among the 259 participants from three other schools, six S.I. students emerged victorious in their respective age and gender categories!

These students are now eligible to compete in the District 9 competition on Sunday, February 4th from 6-8 PM. Best of luck, Tigers!

STUDENT ART SHOW

St. Ignatius student art will be on display during Open House. However, sometimes that day is a bit hectic, so a special viewing has been arranged for the Grandparents Club.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!
