Elf Job Opening #1 . Super Shoppers
During the Christmas season, we ask that you take part in the toy drive which benefits the less privileged children in Stephenson County. If you wish to donate, please buy a gift for a 3-5 year old child, wrap it, mark it 'boy' or 'girl' and bring it to Aquin before December 13.
Or, if you prefer, you may make a cash donation and we will have our elves shop for you!
It is not necessary to buy expensive gifts. If you have $20 to spend, it would be better to buy 4 smaller gifts to help make sure that all children have a gift to open.
Drop your donations at either campus and we'll be sure to get them in Santa's bag!
Elf Job Opening #2 . More Super Shoppers
Interact is in need of wrapping paper, gift bags, tissue paper and clear tape to wrap the gifts we give. If you have extra at home, please send them to school.
Menard's is currently offering 10 gift bags for FREE--after rebate!
We are in need of about 190 bags total, so 19 generous elves would be greatly appreciated.
Drop your donations at either campus and we'll use them to wrap gifts for Santa's bag!
Elf Job Opening #4 . Vote for Aquin (again and again!)
Interact has finished setting up the trees for FHN's annual Festival of Trees at the Freeport Public Library (click here for a shout-out from FHN). They will also be decorating a tree . Stop in to see all of the beautifully decorated trees and vote for your favorite! Any prize money won will be used by Interact for their community service projects this year.
Voting ends December 16.
Elf Job Opening #5 . Jolly Ol' Saint Nick and Friends
Aquin Servant Leaders are providing 'Santa', 'Mrs. Claus, and 'Elves' at the Freeport Public Library. If you are available to help with any of these positions, please contact connie.gogel@aquinschools.org. Our times are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5-7pm, and Saturdays from 1-3pm through December 21. Some slots are filled, but we are always in need of substitutes or extras.
We have the costumes, we just need cheery souls to fill them!
