St. Ignatius School Fundraising Events

Have you seen this genius idea from our #AMAZING Grapes committee! Amazing Grapes BUY IT NOW Teacher Pampering Packages Let’s face it, 2020 has provided us all with some incredibly difficult challenges. Since March of last year, our teachers and staff have gone above and beyond to continue providing the highest level of education possible for our children, despite the obstacles they have faced. They have researched, trained, held meetings, tested virtual platforms, filme...d lessons, prepped packets, graded papers, mastered Zoom, sanitized and sacrificed. They have given our children the gifts of their time, attention, energy and love juggling teaching both virtually and in the classroom with patience and grace. This year, the Amazing Grapes team found the perfect way to show our teachers just how much we love and appreciate them. Instead of our annual auction of Teacher Experiences, we are offering Teacher Pampering Packages! Each teacher has provided some hints about the perfect ways in which to spoil them, and YOU can help make their dreams of being pampered come true! It’s the perfect way to say thank you for everything they do. Just log on to our Amazing Grapes auction site and click Buy It Now to give your child’s teacher some well-deserved R&R! You can even gather a group of friends and pitch in to support our incredible teachers and staff. Let the pampering begin! https://e.givesmart.com/events/jox/

One year ago from today, The Amazing Grapes Committee transformed our beautiful courtyard and school and put on a first class event. We were hugging, sharing food, drink and were much closer than 6 feet apart. Although things are much different this year, one thing will always remain the same. The love we have for each other. #AMAZING #november7th2020 #stignatiussacschool Photo Credit: Stephanie Smith Photography
