Parents, it is very important that your children wear a clean mask daily. I have been seeing some pretty dirty ones lately. Please have enough on hand so they can wear a clean one every day and launder on the weekends. Thank you!
Screenings: 

Vision and hearing screenings have begun for grades 5 and 7 this week. If your child did not pass the screening, you will hear from me.

New this year is our 365 Raffle! Each family will be given 6 tickets to sell for $20 per ticket or 6 for $100. Tickets will go home on Friday, October 2, and there will be daily drawings for an entire year. Prizes will be awarded to top family, top grade, top homeroom, top 5 teachers and more! More details will be coming soon. For more information, or to order more tickets, please contact Christina Grotkin at dipucciochristina@yahoo.com. 

**Virtual students will need to pick up their tickets from school.

The ever popular pencil bags are back in stock! If your child needs one, please send $5.00 to the teacher, and it will be delivered to the classroom.

In an effort to offset the lost income from IggyFest 2020, and build up the St. I's community, plans are underway to hold the first-ever St. Ignatius Virtual Bid & Buy! Families can help by donating items by October 16 to fill baskets and exciting prizes, and then later virtually bidding on these items at the Bid & Buy Virtual event in November. More details will be coming soon about the event.

Here are some ways you can help:

1. Quick and Easy. Go to the Amazon and/or Target links and have items delivered right to the parish office:

Items such as weekend getaways, timeshares, wine or bourbon tasting events, hosting a "Dinner with our Fathers", unique one-of-a-kind items, sports and tailgating items, small appliances, high school and college spirit wear and much, much more! The list is only limited by your imagination!

Help celebrate our 75th Anniversary Jubilee and express your joy for being a member of St. Ignatius Parish or School by creating a heartfelt rending of what St. Ignatius means to you. Every Christmas, ornaments commemorating the parish communities of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati hang on the large Christmas tree at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral. This year, in honor of the Dodransbicentennial (175th) Anniversary of the Cathedral and the Bicentennial (200th) Anniversary of the Archdiocese, parishes are invited to provide new ornaments for the tree.
Here’s where the St. Ignatius Jubilee Committee needs your help!  We are holding an ornament contest to choose ornaments for both church and school that will represent St. Ignatius for years to come. The only requirements are that the ornament should represent the St. Ignatius community and what it means to you, include a hanging loop or opening for a hook, and be less than 12 inches round.  

Interested in using tools and materials available in the Art Room or iLab? Mrs. Mills and Mrs. Mears can help! Complete this interest form to be included in future communications to sign up for a time slot until October 9:  https://forms.gle/LjQUsZsc3LNTBbga6 

We will vote for the winner as a parish. All entries will be displayed this Christmas season (and may be claimed afterward OR donated). If you have any questions, please see the flyer attached to this Wire, or contact Mrs. Melanie Crowe at mcrowe@sainti.org, 661-6565, Ext. 2740.
