Our maintenance staff put the finishing touches on the Middle School outdoor space. The John Fleming "Spread the Kindness" memorial bench was installed. Donations from the community made the purchase of the bench possible after John's passing. John was a long-time teacher in Mission Schools. He is best known for being an amazing teacher, person, friend, coach and co-worker. His legacy will continue on in Mission Schools.

📣 Join Us for Our FIRST PTO Meeting! 💙

We’re excited to get our Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) started at St. Ignatius Elementary! 🎉

📅 Monday, August 31
⏰ 5:30 PM
📍 Elementary Multipurpose Room

This first meeting will be a chance to talk about the purpose and guidelines of our PTO, share ideas, and—most importantly—see who is interested in being involved.

Our goal is to get the PTO organized and then turn it over to our parent and community members to take the lead from there! 🙌

If you’ve been thinking about getting more involved at our school, we’d love to have you join us! No experience necessary—just bring your ideas and interest in helping make our school community even better. ❤️

Good afternoon 12th graders! It's almost time for one of our newest back-to-school traditions - student parking spot painting! We're looking forward to seeing our first round of creative designs in the MHS parking lot this year. We'll be painting a 5-foot circle format to keep our parking lot looking clean and crisp. Painted spots will be in the center section/middle row of the parking lot only. Here's what you need to know: When: Monday and Tuesday, August 24th and 25th Where: The designated center section of the MHS parking lot Designs: Your design must fit completely inside a 5-foot diameter circle and must be pre-approved by Mr. Hendrickson before you claim a spot or begin painting. Please bring a sketch or mockup of your design, or feel free to email it ahead of time. Seniors: Spot selection begins at 10:00am on Monday August 24th After you choose your spot, you can chalk out your circle if needed. Bring proper supplies/materials. You'll be responsible for painting the circle outline and keeping your design inside that boundary. Painting must be fully completed by Tuesday night (8/25). We want the paint dried by the start of school on Wednesday. Bring your own paint and supplies. Spray paint is not permitted. Painting a spot is completely optional, but it's a great opportunity to add a little personality to our parking lot and kick off the new school year with some Bulldog spirit. Start thinking about your design - we're excited to see what you come up with! Thanks, Mr. Hendrickson
