Greetings IGNITE Family! WE DID IT!!! We have completed the 23-24 academic year with a bang and we will miss our scholars soooo much! We are so proud of the growth, the maturity, and the bonds established here over this past year and cannot wait to see what the future holds for next year.

Thank you all for traveling on this journey towards academic success with us. Thank you for trusting us with your babies and supporting us. Together, we helped our scholars discover their superpowers and WE will continue to develop those powers next year.

This will be the final Spark for the 23-24 academic year. I will be on campus through June so please email me or call me if you need anything. We will also be updating the website regularly with information you may need.

We Are IGNITE!

ONE TEAM, ONE GOAL.

We want to take a moment to send a huge thank you to our AMAZING parents, PTSA, and community partners at America's Credit Union and The Church of Incarnation. To our parents, your support, your voices, you showing up, volunteering, your donations, and your love for your scholars and our school has made this an incredible year. To our PTSA, your tireless work in honoring our teachers and scholars, putting together amazing events, volunteering your time, working with businesses on our behalf, and making school fun for the staff and scholars does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. To our community partners, thank you for all the donations, gifts, food, uniform assistance for scholars, kind words, for volunteering your time, and for always being there when we call. Know that a school community is a family and we love, respect, and appreciate you all. This year would not have been a success without all of you. THANK YOU!

To our scholars, we love you all and hope that you have an amazing summer. Thank you for teaching us how to do our jobs better, for supporting one another, for being awesome, and driving me crazy : ). You guys have unlimited potential and once you tap into that potential, you will be unstoppable. Have fun this summer, be safe, and prepare for the 24-25 academic year.
