Ignite Program
The IGNITE program raises funds to pay for enrichment programs such as field trips and school assemblies along with contributing to enhancements to our schools directly related to our students such as outdoor learning environments and athletic equipment.
We are excited to bring back IGNITE this year and are asking families to make a contribution to this wonderful cause. Contributions can be made via the school website and A-Z. With these contributions, we are looking forward to providing enrichment to the students this year!
If you are looking for the WJHS car magnets we have sent out in the past with contribution receipts, you can purchase them through the school’s Spiritwear site at https://humankind.shop/collections/wilmette-junior-high
