Over 3/4 of Aplington's APO fundraising blankets have already been sold! If you're interested in purchasing one, please stop in at Aplington today. They will most likely be sold out early this week and will not be available to purchase at this Friday's football game.
Please see the attached letter from the Ogle County Superintendents.
Centennial School is looking for a half-day special education paraprofessional. Please email Dr. Huyett at mhuyett@poloschools.net if you are interested in learning more.
Our APO Polo Marco fundraiser blankets arrived just in time for next week's 95 degree weather!
Blankets will be available to purchase starting Monday, August 21st. They are 60"x70" and incredibly soft. Each blanket is individually packaged in a vacuum sealed bag. They are $25 each and all proceeds will go towards funding field trips and PBIS activities for Aplington students. They are made in the U.S.A. by a company that is Veteran owned/teacher owned/woman owned.
Blankets will only be available to purchas at Aplington at this time. A table will be set up at next week's Varsity football game for about an hour before game time.
Cash or checks will be accepted. If you send cash in to Aplington, it must be in a sealed envelope with your child's name on it and what the money is for. Checks must be written out to APO. Checks written out to Aplington or the school district will be returned.
We only have a limited amount of blankets available so if you want one please don't delay! I'm not sure if we will have a second order or not.
