Aquila Elementary PTO

We love you Aquila!

Camp Aquila is in full swing! Thank you to everyone at Aquila who make our student’s experiences exceptional! Our community is in-TENT on making this week full of appreciation!

We appreciate all the St Louis Park staff – and we know our Aquila community is a cut above!

Thank you to everyone who donated time, energy, or treats for teacher appreciation – our neighborhood is a precious example of supporting each other!

So you’d like to get more involved in Aquila’s PTO, but you’re not sure how? Two PTO board positions are opening, Vice President and Secretary! Below are brief summaries of what to expect with each position.

Each board position is a commitment of 2 years. The position of Vice President is expected to succeed the President as a means of providing continuity.
