To the Editor:
St. Ignatius of Loyola School is hidden among the rolling hills of farmland in Concord Hill, just west of Marthasville in Warren County. Started in the late 1800s and continuing to teach the young minds of the surrounding communities, St. Ignatius boasts a perfect setting for children to learn.
With a student to teacher ratio of about 9 to 1, children receive an extremely personal and focused education.
St. Ignatius of Loyola School not only pushes its students to become involved in their community, but local sports teams and a school speech team make this challenge even easier. Many parents overlook St. Ignatius because of its separate location from other businesses and schools, but anyone who takes a closer look will discover something worth traveling a little longer for.
I have been a parishioner at St. Ignatius all of my life. I attended St. Ignatius of Loyola School until two years ago, when I graduated from eighth grade. My father Robert Lierman attended this school, my grandfather Kenneth Lierman and my grandmothers Diane Lierman and Judy Mendenhall, and my great-grandfathers Alfred Lierman and Linus Glosemeyer and great-grandmother Dorothy Lierman as well.
My family has always been involved at St. Ignatius, such as volunteering at the annual Thanksgiving Day Dinner and this past year assisting with the school Speech team. There is no other parish I would rather be a part of than St. Ignatius of Loyola.
Like many Catholic schools, enrollment numbers at St. Ignatius have been lower than normal the past few years. Luckily, this phase seems to be ending this school year.
The rural location of St. Ignatius makes this school a hidden gem worth uncovering. Students from Pre-K through eighth grade are welcome to enroll at any time and any additional information can be found at www.saintig.com. Be sure to check out its promotional video online for a glimpse at what so many love about this school!
I absolutely recommend St. Ignatius of Loyola School to all parents. The teachers at this school put forth the finest standard of education and I am proud to have been taught by them. St. Ignatius of Loyola School is most definitely worth the trip!
