Academy News
Come see two of Saint Thomas Aquinas Academy’s faculty participate in Dash for Cash with the Green Bay Gamblers on Saturday, January 29! There will be $10,000+ in cash spread out on center ice for Ms. Amy Aguiar (Pre-K 4 Para) and Mrs. Nikki Sotka (Middle/High Science) to dash for (with representatives from other schools participating as well). All monies collected will benefit each teacher's classroom. In addition, for every ticket purchased through STAA, $3 will be directly donated back to the school to benefit the entire Academy. Order forms for discounted tickets were sent home last week and are due along with payment by Monday, January 17. Checks should be made payable to Green Bay Gamblers.
