Ignatius Book Fair – Friday April 4th through Wednesday April 9 promises to be both enjoyable and enriching for our students (and parishioners)!
- Students shop during their library times on Friday, Monday, and Wednesday
- And the community can shop after masses on Sunday April, 6th from 9:30-Noon!
The Ignatius Book Fair will offer an incredible selection of Catholic and secular works that inspire, educate, and allow our students to explore the complementary nature of faith and literature.
Our school receives rewards for every book purchased during and after the fair. Continue shopping all year long on the Ignatius Book Fair website to help us earn free books for our school. Each purchase from the Ignatius Book Fair benefits our school, allowing us to enhance our library resources and reading programs.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school activities. We look forward to seeing you at the Ignatius Book Fair and sharing the joy of reading with our students!
Calendar update!
There has been a change to our calendar. The last day for kindergarten-7th grade students will be Thursday, May 22. Last day for 8th graders is Wednesday, May 21. 8th grade graduation will happen in the evening of May 21.
Nonpublic pupil aid alert.
The Governor’s proposed budget eliminates critical nonpublic pupil aid, which provides funding for textbooks, testing, counseling, nursing, and transportation for nonpublic school students. These cuts amount to over $50 million per year—roughly $1,080 per student—placing a greater financial burden on families and potentially putting their school of choice out of reach. Nonpublic pupil aid ensures equal access to essential educational resources and helps families afford the best education for their children. Tell your state legislators to oppose these harmful cuts and protect our students! Visit www.mncatholic.org/action_
Happy Spring! The yellow crocus flowers are starting to bloom on the east side of the 1914 campus. This flower is one of the earliest flowers to emerge in springtime!
