Improv is back tomorrow at Aquinas!

Come laugh, connect, and create with us.

Our August Improv Series continues this weekend with more games, storytelling, movement, and play. It’s a welcoming space for Aquinas learners, tutors, neighbors, and community members to come together, try something new, and have some fun.

Missed the first session? No problem! Each session stands on its own, so newcomers are always welcome.

No acting experience is needed. No perfect English is needed. Just come as you are, be part of it, and bring a friend!

Congratulations to Obdulia, our first Aquinas Passport raffle winner! 🎉

Obdulia filled her Aquinas Passport by showing up, participating, and learning with our community, and she got to choose her prize!

Haven’t started your Passport yet? Here’s how it works:

1. Attend an eligible Aquinas activity, such as a group class, Conversation Cafe, workshop, or community program.
2. Get a stamp in your Passport each time you participate.
3. Every 10 stamps earns you an entry into our prize raffle.
4. Keep participating for more chances to win!

The Aquinas Passport celebrates your commitment to learning, connecting, and being part of our community.

Ask an Aquinas staff member for your Passport and start collecting stamps. You could be our next winner!

Congratulations, Obdulia!

Yay! Another new pair welcome Ryan and Jose 😊
