Speaking of Wildcamps, we continue to plan for our summer programs including Summer Enrichment Program and athletic summer sports camps. Due to scheduling concerns, we invite all those interested in spending their summer at Saint Ignatius to fill out our WildCamp interest form. By filling out this form, a camper's spot will be reserved for the selected camp(s). As summer draws nearer, scheduling decisions will be made in accordance with the governor of Ohio's orders. If the camps are scheduled to occur, separate payment forms will be sent to you via the email address provided. Please note that the separate registration form and camp fee are due before the first day of the camp in order to complete the registration process.

Monday, April 20 marks the official start of our 2020 Languages Week! Each day celebrates a different language offered through our curriculum including French, Spanish, Chinese, Greek and Latin. Complete with student challenges, kitchen creations and Chariot Races, we invite you to join in on our virtual celebrations. Learn more: https://www.ignatius.edu/news/april-2020/2020languagesweek

Our teachers continue to innovate during our Virtual Learning Protocol. Last week, Spanish teacher Sara Sebring held a Spanish speaker series via Zoom. Six people who use Spanish in their daily lives took time to talk and answer questions for students in Mrs. Sebring's classes.
