Operation Recess ~ Update | |
Operation Recess was back this week with a great new game! First graders Luke, Jamie, Sufyan, and Norah were all in on running the pass routes and receiving the ball - first downs and touchdowns galore! Operation Recess was made possible with funds from Aquila Give$ and the support of SLP Family Services Collaborative. This year, Aquila Give$ will run from November 6-12. | |

Upstander Day ~ Wednesday, October 26 | |

On Wednesday, October 26, Aquila will participate in an Upstander Day by wearing orange to let everyone in our community know that we are Upstanders and do not tolerate bullying behavior at Aquila. The Pacer Center has great resources about bullying prevention and their Unity Day of wearing orange.
Aquila received a generous donation of blue knit hats for all students and staff from a store called Harriet and Alice. See the #HATNOHATE initiative that helps communities raise awareness about bullying. Students will receive their hat the morning of Wednesday, October 26.
