The September Healthy Future log is open for logging activity. Once your child has completed 15 or more days of 60 minutes of activity, you can log it on the form. For getting out and getting active they will receive an incentive. Get out and get active! bit.ly/AquarianHealthyFutures
Dress for the Weather
There is no bad weather, just bad gear! Aquarian students will go outside rain or shine! The only exception is if temperatures fall below -10degrees. Please make sure students come with the necessary outdoor gear.
Social Media/ Communication
Every Sunday I send out a newsletter filled with school wide information. I also try to include a few pictures from the week. However, daily we are posting pictures to our official Facebook and Instagram accounts. I would encourage everyone to like, follow, and subscribe to these accounts. It's also a great resource to share with out of state family to help them feel connected.
A-THON IS COMING!!!!!
Attention families Aquarian Charter School is excited to announce our 10th annual Jog A-thon!!! What is a Jog A-Thon you ask? Well this event is our schools first major FUNdraiser that is sponsored by our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). The monies raised during this event help support our school in so many ways for the entire year. On September 27th, students will run the loop on school grounds. Second through sixth graders will run for 45 minutes and kindergartners and first graders will run for 30 minutes. Students will collect pledges from friends, family, neighbors and whoever is willing to donate! The more pledges brought in, the more prizes the kids can win!
We are looking for SPONSORS for this event. If you own a small business, know someone who owns a small business, or work for a company that would like to sponsor our event please let us know!! Or better yet! Print a copy of THIS LETTER and get it to prospective sponsors.
The money we raise through this event helps support Aquarian staff and students. In the past we have been able to provide funding to restart the Robotics Club and Student Council. It also helps provide training for our teaching staff and numerous school wide events including Trunk or Treat, Bowling Night, Winter Festival, Movie Night and Skating. The money raised also sends our 5th graders to space camp and provides support for our end of the year all school field day! These events help to build the Aquarian community throughout the school year.
If you or your business would like to be a sponsor, please contact Sarah Boice at aquarianpto@gmail.com

Battle of the Books 3rd and 4th
This is just a reminder that our first ¾ Battle of the Books meeting will be this Tuesday, September 17th from 12:10 - 12:40. If your child is interested, please simply sign up on the link here: https://forms.gle/v1wt6CCjH3mfJ9dg6 .
A bookmark with all the books and authors will be handed out at Tuesday’s meeting. Help your child memorize the exact titles and authors for the first four books listed. We will be focusing on these books during our meetings. We will discuss asking family members to "sponsor" the purchase of a book for your child. Students may also use audiobooks and/or kindles for their reading. We do, however, stress that if an audiobook is going to be used, the child should also have a hard copy of the book to follow along. Looking forward to another great Battle year!
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Megan at deruyter_megan@asdk12.org or Ms. Brenda at wimett_brenda@asdk12.org.
