International Celebration - Save the Date and Sign up to Participate!
International Celebration is a beloved tradition at Angell and a wonderful opportunity to bring families together to celebrate our diverse community. This year’s International Celebration will take place at Angell on Thursday, April 25 from 6 to 8pm.
Family involvement is essential for making this a great event! We would love for families to represent a country of heritage, or even a country you have lived in or associate with and that you are proud to share with others.
Participation can be as simple as bringing food to share or wearing traditional clothing to the event. To represent your country, or support us in other ways for that evening, please complete the survey. Thank you to the families who have already signed up. So far, we have representatives for Australia, Brazil, China, India, Italy, Singapore, Jamaica, Korea, Nigeria, Serbia and South Korea. We would welcome the involvement of more representatives for each country, so please don’t hesitate to sign up even if your country is on the list!
Here's a sneak peek at the contents:
Demonstrations of music, dance, and art/crafts from around the world.
Delicious “World Buffet” offering a delectable array of culinary delights.
Fun activities and games, etc.
Let's make this International Celebration a memorable day, a celebration of differences, friendship, and the beauty of our world's cultures!

LUNCH VOLUNTEERS ARE THE BEST!!!
Thank you to the parents who’ve signed to help these last two weeks. It’s been wonderful to have extra hands in the cafeteria and outside. I am incredibly grateful for the help!
Please check out this spreadsheet each week if you can donate an hour or two to lunchtime supervision.
SOLAR ECLIPSE IS COMING SOON
On Monday, April 8th, Ann Arbor will be treated to a special show in our skies. Unless it's very cloudy, we will be able to view an almost total solar eclipse! The Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union (MSGCU) has generously provided every student and staff member with a pair of Eclipse Glasses. The glasses are "CE" and ISO Certified and SAFE FOR DIRECT SOLAR VIEWING and meets the Standard for ISO 12312-2:2015. We are excited to take students outside for viewing.
