Thank you also to the many families and community members who donated desserts and raffle prizes, and volunteered their time to host games and tables. We appreciate you all and couldn’t do this without your help!

NEWS & NOTES FROM PRINCIPAL FENECH

🪨  CHECK OUT “THE ROCK” ON MONDAY NIGHT OR TUESDAY MORNING: As you come into school on Tuesday morning, check out UM’s Rock on Washtenaw and Hill. You will see a special message from our graduating 5th graders - congratulations to these children and their families!

🩵  A FOND FAREWELL: As we close out another wonderful school year, we want to recognize a few outstanding staff members who will be embarking on exciting new adventures. While we will miss them greatly, we are proud of their accomplishments and wish them the very best in their next chapters.

• • Ms. Abbie Stull has accepted a leadership position with Saline Area Schools and will serve as a Dean of Academics. Her passion for supporting students and dedication to learning will undoubtedly make a positive impact in her new role.

  • Ms. Lauren Earl will continue her educational journey as a student teacher in an ASC classroom at Abbot Elementary. We know her enthusiasm and commitment to students will serve her well.

  • Ms. Gilma Jimenez has been accepted into the School Psychology Ph.D. program at Grand Valley State University. This is an incredible accomplishment, and we are excited to see all she will achieve.

  • Ms. Elise Blaauw will be sharing her creativity and talent with students as an Art Teacher in the Chelsea School District. We know she will inspire many young artists in her new community.

Please join us in thanking Abbie, Lauren, Gilma, and Elise for their contributions. They have each made a lasting difference in the lives of our students and staff, and they will always be part of the Angell family.

🌍  HERITAGE REPRESENTATION: I want to make sure every child sees their family’s heritage reflected in our school, minimally with the flags that line our main hallway. I need to purchase the national flags of Hong Kong and Australia.  Please let me know if there are other flags we should purchase.

🙏  FROM MS. FENECH - THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL YEAR: As another school year comes to a close, I want to thank all of our Angell families for your partnership, support, and trust. Together, we helped our students learn, grow, and thrive. I hope your family has a wonderful summer filled with opportunities to relax, recharge, and make special memories together. In the coming days, I'll send a brief family survey. Since AAPS will not be administering the district Climate Survey this year, I'd like to gather feedback directly from our school community. I genuinely want to hear what went well this year and where we can continue to improve. Your perspectives help shape our work and make Angell an even stronger school for all students. Thank you again - it is a privilege to serve this incredible community. Have a splendid summer! And do not hesitate to contact me if you need anything this summer.
