12/4/23: The student council pizza fundraiser pick up will be this Thursday, December 7th from 5:30-6:30PM in the Aplington gym. Please use the back door of Aplington (door 7). Orders must be picked up that night because we do not have anywhere to store them.
Here is the bracket for tomorrow's 7th & 8th grade BBB Rt. 72 Conference.
In the spirit of Christmas, Aplington Middle School and APO are collecting donations to participate in the Habitat for Humanity of Ogle County STUD-A-THON. Our goal is to collect $200 so we can sponsor a 2x6 construction stud that will be used in a new home built by Habitat for Humanity.
We are collecting donations now through December 14th. On the 14th we will pick up our stud. On December 20th (our last day before Christmas break) students and staff will decorate the stud and return it to HFH. We will talk to students about what Habitat for Humanity does for communities and families and stress the importance of community involvement and volunteering.
If you have any questions please call Katie Chesnut at 815-946-2519 or email kchesnut@poloschools.net
