• Holiday Gifts for Teachers & Staff! The PTO is organizing gifts for the Specials Teachers and Angell Staff. We would like to send them each a nice gift card to show our appreciation for all they do! You can drop off or mail cash or checks (written to Angell PTO) with Lisa Durham or Janet Reid (Remember that parents are still not allowed in the building, so you may have to mail these in or ask your child to drop them off at the office for you). Please specify in the envelope what the money is for and label checks (“Specials and Staff Gift). Parents can also contribute via Venmo (@angellpto) with the tagline “Specials and Staff Gifts". Thank you for all of your support and generosity this holiday season as we help to show our Angell teachers and staff how much we value their hardwork and dedication!

• Thrive Juicery Dine and Donate Event:    Ready to try some raw cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and other seasonal delicious items like avocado toast (mom and kid-approved)?  Angell Elementary is proud to be collaborating with Thrive Juicery for a dine and donate event on Saturday, December 11 and Sunday, December 12. Just mention Angell Eagles at the time of purchase and 10% of sales will be donated back to Angell.  If ordering online, please write Angell Eagles in the Notes section so that it can be counted! 

• Write Touch by Leyla Give Back Event: At this stationary store you will find personalized stationery, custom invitations, clothing, jewelry and specialty gifts for every occasion.  Write Touch have partnered with Angell PTO for a give back event on Friday, December 10 and Saturday, December 11.  Just mention Angell Elementary at the time of purchase and 20% of the proceeds will be donated back to Angell.  . 

The Thrive Juicery and Write Touch events will be held concurrently on Saturday and are a short walking distance from each other, so you may want to swing by both and have a snack or smoothie while buying some holiday gifts. 

• AR Workshop Give Back Event: Fun in Fundraising.  Purchase fun DIY kits to make ornaments or plank signs from now until December 12th and AR will give back anywhere from 10 to 20% depending on the number purchased.   All materials to complete the project are included.   Kits can be ordered on the AR-Angell Fundraiser site.  

• Little Diablo Salsa orders are in!  If you placed an order, you should have received an invitation to sign up for a pickup slot through SignUp Genius.  If you ordered and DID NOT receive the email, please contact Sara Callaghan at treasurer@angellpto.org.

• Angell Donation Drive:  Angell will be hosting a donation drive to support those resettling in our area from other countries (largely from Afghanistan) from Tuesday,  December 7 to Thursday, December 9.  JFS has resettled thousands of refugees from all over the world for the last 28 years (please see the JFS flyer for background info).  We are gathering items to help them make our new neighbors feel welcomed.  For the Angell drive, we will be collecting stuffed animals.  These will help the children of families that are resettling.  If you are interested in contributing, please pick out a stuffed animal and bring it to school - there will be a donation box by the office.
