Aquin Prom Story to appear on NBC News 'Inspiring America'
We are happy to report that all the crew commented how 'awesome' this tradition was, how great our students are and how much they enjoyed their time in Freeport (which included lunch at Union Dairy, a trip to Krape Park and more)!
Currently, the Aquin 'Inspiring America' segment is in the hands of the production crew in New York. It is scheduled to air on Friday night near the end of the broadcast. If that schedule changes, we will let you know.
Watch for a complete wrap-up of Prom 2017 after this segment airs--it has been quite a year for our attention-grabbing prom tradition!
Why Aquin?
Many thanks to the volunteer committee who has put many hours into this effort. Please share the promotions to anyone--and everyone--you can. We have desks available for Puppies through Bulldogs in all of our classrooms.
Watch for our 'Why Aquin?' launch this weekend--and in the weekends to come!
Let's Chalk!
If anyone is interested in lending their sidewalk chalking skills--or interested in discovering their sidewalk chalking skills--please contact laura.diemer@aquinschools.org. We are looking for 'kids of all ages' to help us 'beautify' Downtown Freeport!
Stay tuned for our Awesome Aquin Art!
Aquin Chess Tourney Championship
Watch the video below of the final minutes of the match . . . and then stay tuned for the 2017 Champion to be crowned (hopefully) on Friday!
