Aquila Communicator

February 20, 2025

Greetings Aquila Community,

It was wonderful to see so many of you last week at Family Connect times. If you weren't able to make it on Thursday or Friday, please reach out to your child's teacher to check in. Although we're supposed to see a warming trend over the next couple of weeks, we wanted to remind you of our recess guidelines. In keeping with MDE recommendations, students will have outdoor recess if the temperature is -10 degrees or above with windchill. We have plenty of gear, so please let your child's teacher know if there's anything that you might need.

If you're looking for the warmth of community in this cold weather, please join us for BINGO and a Book Swap here in Aquila's gymnasium on Monday, 2/24. Details are below.

Paz,

María & Olivia
