Greetings Aquila Community,
This week we are honoring the hard work and dedication of our paraprofessionals. They are an integral part of Aquila, and of our district’s mission and vision. Paraprofessionals provide opportunities for students who receive specialized services to learn in their least restrictive environment, where they belong. Paraprofessionals provide supervision during some of the most busy times, during recess and lunch. Paraprofessionals work alongside teachers to provide small group instruction, ensuring that students can access differentiatedl academic support. Please help us in thanking them by sending them a quick email!
At Aquila, our paraprofessional team includes: Keji Afolabi, Chelsea Bergaus, Lashawn Favors, Evan Graham, Karen Hoeschen, Charlene Hughes, Fatuma Ibrahim, Sharon Mandel, Cole Marshall, Dan Masler, Nadie Nandlall, Molly Neuman, Kelsey Olson, Pam Orton, Jeremy Ostman, Megan Pasnecker, Adam Recknagel, Beth Redmond, Kelsey Schafer, Sara Sheqem, Brian Tangney, Lisa Welke, and Sarah Young Reuben.
As we stated in our last communication, February is a busy month! February 1st is the start of Black History Month. We will be welcoming our students into the building with music provided by an African drummer, William Harris. Later that day we will be celebrating World Hijab Day. February 12th is National African American Parent Involvement Day. Please check your email for your invitations to these events.
The month of February also includes the traditional "Valentines Day." Though we know that each family may have their own traditions connected to this day at home, at school we do not. Here at Aquila, we take the opportunity to focus on friendship and community on February 14th. We will not be having treats or passing out Valentine cards, and we ask that you please not send these items to school with your child.
Paz,
María & Olivia
