Greetings Aquila Community,
It's hard to believe how quickly the school year has flown by. This time of year is always filled with excitement and anticipation as we prepare for the end-of-year activities and reflect on the growth and achievement of our students.
The Aquila Team would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our families for your continued support and involvement in our school community. Your partnership is invaluable in students' academic and social growth.
As we approach the final weeks of the school year, let's continue to encourage our students to stay focused and finish strong. We are proud of all they have accomplished and look forward to celebrating their successes together.
Paz,
María & Olivia

5th Grade PYP Exhibition at Aquila
Wednesday, 5/21, 5:30-7:00pm
The PYP Exhibition is a meaningful and exciting experience for our fifth graders at Aquila, marking the culmination of their journey in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP).
Throughout the Exhibition process, students work together to explore real-world topics they are passionate about. They ask thoughtful questions, conduct in-depth research, and take meaningful action. The experience ends with students sharing their learning with families and the school communit - a celebration of who they’ve become as IB learners: curious, caring, knowledgeable, and ready to make a positive impact on the world.
The evening will end with a reception in the Aquila Cafeteria. If you'd like to donate cookies, please click here - thank you!
