  • 2 Videos you need to View

    This video, and its successor linked below, were created by Riley Whalen, Aquin Class of 2015.  
    A breath-taking account of that fateful day.  
    30 minutes you will not forget. I still have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. 
    This was not an assignment. This is just what Riley does. 
    Amazing.

  • Volunteer Opportunities

    Throughout Aquin’s history, volunteers have played a vital role in the successes of our programs.  Today is no different.  From Extravaganza to our athletic programs to our visible presence in the community, volunteers continue Aquin’s legacy.  As we look ahead to 2011-12 (sadly, summer is almost half over), we are planning many exciting events for our students, families and community.  The success of these events relies on many hands.  

    To make the execution of these events go smoothly, I’ve created forms on which you can volunteer.  Following is a listing of all the events that I’m currently working on or organizations that I am working with.  Please complete and submit the forms as soon as possible.  You will be contacted no later than by the end of July.

    Thank you for your support!
