We are parents who are willing to sacrifice to give our children an education in a faith-filled learning environment.
As parents, we accept the primary responsibility for enriching the faith of our children. We do this by modeling a Christian ethic, by respecting the Sabbath, by establishing religious traditions in our homes and by instructing our children in the faith.

2011-12 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!

We will be having a Silent Auction during DawgFest on Saturday, October 1. The majority of the items in the Auction will be classroom baskets as we have created in the past for Extravaganza. All baskets will be based on a fairytale theme in the spirit of the 2011 Homecoming theme, 'Once Upon Aquin'.  We will put information out to our families on what type of donations we are looking for in each classroom. If you are interested in helping with the planning and preparation of the basket items, please complete the form. We will have an initial meeting in July to get things started, but attendance at the meeting is not required.
