Fall is upon us, as is the 365 Raffle! This morning we arrived at school with some St. I cheerleaders and the LaSalle Game Day truck celebrating Raffle Kick Off. Ambassadors for the raffle greeted all students as they entered the building today with a smile and a small treat. The 365 Raffle is our BIG annual fundraiser sponsored by the school. The dollars generated by the Raffle help to close the gap between the true cost of educating a child at St. Ignatius and tuition. We are very grateful for the leadership of this fundraiser, and heartfelt thanks go to Christina Grotkin, Chrissy Davis, and Stephanie Beck for their hard work and commitment to this event. 

I wanted to give a brief update on the safety grant we received last spring and the improvements we have made with those funds. We installed a new phone system which ties into a new building alert system. This new system immediately notifies school occupants of an event via audible and visual alerts. Staff will also receive instant notifications, as well as local law enforcement. PropStops have been installed which monitor doors and prevent door propping with instant notifications. We are also awaiting a new updated camera system which will allow us to monitor even more of our campus.

Thank you all for your support of our school and parish! I am looking forward to a very successful 365 Raffle and am so appreciative of all the hard work that goes into it. 

I continue to keep all of you in my prayers and encourage you to do the same for our students, staff, and benefactors.

In Christ’s Peace,

Angie Heisel
