Thank you

A warm thank you to Zeina Ferzli for doing an amazing job of chairing International Celebration, and to the many parent volunteers who organized activity stations and brought food to share.  It was a wonderful and fun event, where students and their families got to learn about our world’s cultures and celebrate Angell’s diverse community and enjoy treats from 23 different countries.  

If you have pictures from the event,  we would be grateful if you could share them with us by emailing angellICpics@gmail.com.

Burns Park Run

The 46th Annual Burns Park Run is scheduled for SUNDAY MAY 5, 2024 in Burns Park. It’s a great community event and, by participating, you can help raise funds for the Angell PTO! 

The tree-lined Burns Park Run loop course has been a favorite of beginner and world-class runners alike.  Known for its family-friendly atmosphere, the Burns Park Run 5K and 10K races annually draw between 1,000 to 1,500 runners ages 5 to 90 years, with over 200 elementary school kids running the 5K.  For the youngest of participants, there is a separate 1/2 mile Fun Run around the park.

ANGELL PTO can receive $10 per registrant in grades K through 12 for the 46th Burns Park Run!

Simply register for the race, inform them of the PTO or School during the registration process, and they will send Angell PTO a check.
