January Students of the Month
A shield provides protection to the one who bears it. Aquin Schools strive to provide each student with a shield of Responsibility, Respect, Faith, Leadership, Service, Knowledge and Character. Each month from October through April, Aquin is recognizing three students who display the month’s quality of the shield. Students are nominated by staff and faculty at both campuses and then selected by Administration. Winners are awarded a coveted 'Free Jean Day' coupon!
Faith is January's shield and Aquin Schools are proud to announce their ‘Students of the Month’ for January: Senior High--Thomas Bowman, Junior High--Delaney Munda, Elementary--Hailey Pizzolato.
If you are interested in learning more about Aquin’s ‘Guardian of the Shield’ sponsor program, or want to learn more about joining the Aquin family, please contact Laura at 815-235-3154 x 226.

Congratulations!
Congrats to Aquin 8th Grader Grayce Busker who won the Patriot's Pen Essay contest sponsored by the VFW. She was recognized at their awards banquet on December 10th at the Belvidere VFW. She advanced to the District competition last weekend but unfortunately did not advance to the next level.
