🍿 THANK YOU - MOVIE NIGHT: It was wonderful to see so many families cozied up at Angell’s Movie Night on Friday! We hope everyone enjoyed Hoppers, and we wanted to give a huge thank you to Leslie Murchie Cascino and Alexis Krumme for organizing the event, movie, and snacks - we appreciate you!

🙋 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:

ANGELL’S PTO COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE: We are seeking one volunteer to connect Angell’s PTO + community to others in the broader AAPS District. Our representative would attend PTO Council Meetings once a month (1-1.5 hrs, 4th Monday of each month, 7 pm) on Zoom, as well as take notes to share with Angell’s PTO. Low time commitment!! If you are interested in being Angell’s representative, please let Chavi know: president@angellpto.org.
TWO KEY VOLUNTEERS FOR SCIENCE OLYMPIAD: Each year, we are required to have two Key Volunteers to assist the WESO Board on the day of the Science Olympiad event. Unfortunately, we currently have no volunteers registered, and until we identify two Key Volunteers, we will not be able to register or participate in Science Olympiad.For more information about the role and responsibilities, please refer to the Key Volunteer section of the Head Coach Guidebook. If you have any questions, please reach out to Jill and Susan at angellscioly@gmail.com.
Please consider volunteering to help us continue providing this amazing experience for our kids! Your support is essential to making this event possible and ensuring our students have the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.

NEWS FROM PRINCIPAL FENECH

📝 REPEATS:

OFFICE UPDATE: Our school secretary, Janet Reid, will be out of town until October 23rd. During that time, please email the attendance line at ang_attendance@aaps.k12.mi.us, not Mrs. Reid’s email address.
DONATE ANGELL SPIRIT WEAR AND HALLOWEEN COSTUMES BY OCT 26: Please drop off gently used Halloween costumes and Angell spirit wear that can be shared with other Angell families at the school office.
HALLOWEEN PARADE - FRI, OCT 30 AT 9:05 AM: Kids should come to school dressed in their costumes. Families can view the Halloween parade outside on our school grounds. Note: This parade takes about 30 minutes because kids traverse through the entire building, allowing classmates to see one another.
HALLOWEEN OPT-OUT: If you do not want your child/children to participate in the parade or any Halloween-themed activities, please reach out to me at fenechm@aaps.k12.mi.us, and I’ll arrange for alternative activities.
HALLOWEEN COSTUME GUIDELINES:

Costumes should not include scary masks or full face paint. Staff must be able to easily identify all students, and costumes should be appropriate for a family parade.

Fake weapons and blood are not permitted.

Costumes that could be offensive or perpetuate a stereotype of someone’s culture, gender, etc. are not permitted.

Kids should bring a change of clothes if their costume is not appropriate for playing at recess or staying comfortable for several hours.

Be sure your child is capable of changing out of their costume without adult assistance.
