Candy-Grams!
Sweets for your Sweets
Spread the Love!
Treat your favorite Aquin student, their favorite ‘Big Dawg’ or ‘Little Dawg’, your favorite teacher or favorite staff person (we all love treats!) or everyone's #1 Super Fan Brad Sloan!
Simply send $1.00 to school for each candy-gram you wish to order, who the valentine goes to (their grade if applicable), and who it is from. We will then complete a Bulldog Valentine for you. Please put the information and the money in an envelope clearly marked “Candy Grams”. Orders are due February 11.
Since Valentine's Day lands on a Sunday during a 4-day weekend (no school on Friday, 2.11 or Monday, 2.15), your tasty wishes will be delivered during the school day with a full-size candy bar on Wednesday, February 17.
All proceeds from the sales go to Mike Frank, Aquin class of 1992. Mike suffered a massive stroke in June, 2007 and continues to have severe health problems. Aquin has held numerous fundraisers for him to help offset ongoing medical expenses.
The Franks are so grateful for the continued support they receive from the Aquin family. Mike has actually started taking riding lessons. He started by sitting in a carriage and holding the reins, but has just begun to ride the horse. He needs help and has a trainer walking alongside him. He is really enjoying it, as daily, he is still in a wheelchair and does not speak. He does eat meals by mouth but also has the feeding tube.
Please continue to pray for the Mike and his family.
