Greetings Aquila Community,
It’s hard to believe that we have reached the final days of the school year! We are so proud of all our students and all that they have accomplished this year. We are incredibly grateful for each of our families and all that you have done to support Aquila's students and community throughout this year.
We hope that you can join us on Wednesday, June 4, for Field Day. If you'd like to volunteer, the sign up is directly below in Key Dates.
Paz,
María & Olivia

| | Girls on the Run Lemonade Stand "Thank You" | | |
Our Girls on the Run team wants to send out a GIANT thank you out to all the Aquila staff and families who supported our lemonade stand on Tuesday so that in turn we can support STEP – St. Louis Park Emergency Program as our Community Impact Project this season!
We raised a whopping $350 and are filled with gratitude. There's still a labeled bin in the front office through tomorrow if you'd like to donate any non-perishable canned goods to STEP to go along with our lemonade stand proceeds.
| | Girls on the Run ~ Fall 2025 | | |
Second, third, and fourth grade caregivers, do you have a child who likes to run or move their body? And/or one who wants to learn about managing their emotions, fostering friendships, and expressing empathy? If so, Girls on the Run (GOTR) is for them!

| | | District News ~ Cart Art in the Park Contest | | |
Through the new Cart Art in the Park contest, members of the St. Louis Park community are able to submit original artwork that reflects the theme of organics recycling to be displayed on organics carts at multifamily drop-sites. Residents living in apartments, townhomes and condos can use these carts to dispose of their food scraps instead of throwing them in the trash. Food scraps are then composted, and the resulting compost can be used to create nutrient-rich soil for gardening and landscaping.
The winning artwork will be displayed as a two-dimensional, 11-inch by 17-inch decal on organics carts at the 11 multifamily organics drop-sites located throughout the city for a minimum of one year.
Your art could inspire more residents to sign up for city organics programs and divert their food scraps from the garbage!
