Walkathon Raffle Fun

On October 28th at Aquinas Institute we had our annual Walkathon Fundraiser. Friends, family, and teachers were welcome. We had themed baskets for each class and the students brought stuff in for the baskets. There was a movie basket, a beach basket, two Christmas baskets,

an Adventure Landing basket, a golf basket, a scratch off basket, an arts and crafts basket, and more! When you bought the tickets you got a number and you would write your phone number on the tickets. If you were picked, you won a prize!

Walkathon, Many Station Fun There was not just walking at the Walkathon. There

were different stations at the Walkathon. You could get

your face painted with awesome stencils at the face

painting station. There was also a bounce house station.

There was a photo booth with awesome props. There

were also tattoos that you could do yourself if you

wanted to. The stations were excellent! H. Rimkus

Walkathon Raffle Fun

continued

We hope that everyone had a fun time at this year’s Walkathon. It was great seeing all the St. Lawrence

families and community support our amazing school. A lot of enthusiasm was brought to the event! The money raised for the Walkathon provides financial support to upgrade technology in the school, and funding for field trips, school building maintenance, upgrades for classroom enhancements, and so much more. On the day of the walk-a-thon we raised $3,500 for just selling raffle tickets. Some noteworthy winners….The T.V. was won by Hailey Bennett and Gavin Grillo won Principal for the day.

Congratulations to all of the winners! A. Wegman

Halloween

dress-up FUN For Halloween, we were allowed to dress up in

costumes from Pre-K to Fifth Grade. Most classes

had parties! They can be big or small. For third

grade we had pumpkin bowling as an activity. The

teachers had a secret dress up and it

was...Emoji's! So, every teacher was an Emoji. I

thought the teachers looked great. Popular

costumes were superheroes, cats, and skeletons.

It was so fun! I wonder what next Halloween will

be like? L. Weidert

Q) I am in 5th grade and I am

going to a school away from my

friends. How can I make new friends

and still stay in contact with my old

friends?

A) We know how you feel. Mak-

ing new friends is not a piece of cake.

It's hard to find someone who you

can call your true friend. You can

make new friends by seeing who is in

your classes and who you see around

the halls. You can stay in contact with

your friends by sleepovers or tech-

nology. The type of technology you

can use is texting, calling, E-mail, or

facetime. Good luck to you, from the

Advice Columnists.

ADVICE

Q) Me and my friend get into fights

sometimes. I do not want to take any-

one's side because the other person

might get mad at me. What do I do?

A) You might want to ask a trusted

adult to help. You can have lunch-bunch

with Mrs. Riedman. Make sure to tell the

person to stop fighting with you and to

be a good friend by being kind towards

that person.
