Aquila Give$ is the annual AQ PTO Fundraiser. Donations are used directly by Aquila students. Field trips, classroom supplies, recess equipment, books, media, art supplies, musical instruments, and more have been funded by this yearly fundraiser. This year's Aquila Give$ fundraiser will take place in November.
Last May, 80 third grade students were able to visit the Minnesota Zoo thanks to Aquila Give$ donations. Students were able to use their learning about habitats, biomes, life cycles, and more while seeing the zoo's animals in person.
