Fundraising

Family Dues - $125 per child

Help us reach 80% participation by December 1, 2025!

Each year, Angell’s PTO provides funding for field trips, teacher and staff appreciation, and well-attended community events such as Popsicles on the Playground, the Fall Picnic, International Night, Science Olympiad, and the Ice Cream Social. Our funding also supplements school, classroom, and Specials’ supplies, which can include tissues, hand sanitizer, books, notebooks, pencils, glue, etc., and learning support items.

To make these opportunities possible, we ask each family to make an annual contribution to the PTO of $125 per child. These dues help us to avoid charging event-by-event fees and ensure that all students benefit equally from the wide range of enrichment activities offered at Angell.

This year, we’re also aiming for strong participation from Angell families—and Principal Fenech has agreed to participate in some hilarious challenges as we hit milestones along the way!

Help us reach 80% participation by December 1st, 2025 - and our community can celebrate with these fun milestones along the way:

🦅 75% participation – Wild Hair Day! Principal Fenech will spray-dye her hair in a crazy color and show it off to the whole school.

🦅 80% participation – Backwards Day! She’ll wear her clothes backward and walk the halls backward all day long.

🦅 85% participation – Principal on the Roof! She’ll spend the morning waving to everyone from the roof (even though she doesn’t like heights!).

🦅 90% participation – Silly Costume Day! Principal Fenech will dress up in a wacky costume chosen by the students.

🦅 100% participation – Duct Tape the Principal! Students get to stick Principal Fenech to the wall with duct tape!

In previous years, the PTO has also run a separate fundraising drive—such as the October Walkathon—for specific projects (for example, last year’s funds supported updating Angell’s library collection). This fall, we will not be holding an additional drive. 

We recognize that every family’s circumstances are different. Please know that any amount—whether less, equal to, or more than the suggested contribution—is deeply appreciated. Contributions above $125 help cover costs for families who cannot contribute the full amount, and smaller contributions still make a meaningful impact.

To make your payment, please Venmo the PTO Treasurer @angellptotreasurer or use the QR code above. Please include your student name(s) and “Yearly Dues” in the "What's it for?" field. If you prefer, checks may be delivered to the office.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss a payment plan, please reach out to Chavi (president@angellpto.org) or Johana (treasurer@angellpto.org).

Thank you for your generosity and for being such an important part of the Angell community. Together, we can continue to create a vibrant, enriching experience for every child.

PTO Thrift Shop

Please consider purchasing from and donating items to the PTO Thrift Shop. Profits from sales are distributed to participating AAPS school PTOs, PTSOs, and 501(c)(3) supporting clubs, organizations, and teams, for student enrichment activities in their schools. Fundraising support from the Ann Arbor PTO Thrift Shop comes from their net profit from sales and is based on each school’s participation. The more we participate with them, the more we earn.
