Congrats Aquin Bowlers!
On Saturday, January 18, the Aquin Bowling Team competed in the IHSA Regionals held at Plum Hollow in Dixon. It was a long day, but when it was all done, Aquin had not 1 but 2 individuals advancing to the IHSA Sectionals. On top of that, there is only 1 class of Bowlers in the whole state, so they were competing with some big schools. Christian Becke, grade 11, bowled 1143, while Kamdyn Raymond, grade 9, was close behind with 1129.
WAY TO GO DAWGS and GOOD LUCK THIS SATURDAY!!!
(thanks to Sarah Raymond and Donna Reed for the pic of the qualifiers!)
Congrats Aquin Speech!
If you ever wondered what these 'Speech' students do at their meets, come to the Performing Arts Dinner this weekend (see below) and see for yourself. In between their serving and clearing tables, each of the members will perform their award-winning pieces. Coach LouAnn Hayes will also give a brief description of their categories and the required components for the competitions. Don't miss it!
