Students at Hendry Park spent time last week relaxing with the sensory bins!
We are proud of the supportive, family, and fun environment at our schools. Hendry Park showed this spirit in action when the teachers surprised Principal Ryan Stellhorn on his birthdayāby all dressing up like him!
The plaque has arrived, school is back in session, and we are thrilled to celebrate the record-breaking performance of Owen Fletcher!
On May 24, 2025, at the Indiana Middle School Track Meet hosted on the Indiana State University campus, Owen set a new Angola Middle School record in the 1600-meter run. Owen, the son of Josh and Ashley Fletcher, is now a proud member of the Angola High School Cross Country Team.
The previous record of 4:43 was set in 1981 by Kent Mahnesmith, a standout athlete who graduated with the Angola High School Class of 1985. Kent went on to run for the University of Indianapolis and earned his Law Degree from Valparaiso University School of Law in 1993. Sadly, Kent passed away on October 30, 2011, due to an ATV accident.

We are proud to offer a Montessori elementary school to our community!
One of the cornerstones of Montessori education is a deep connection with nature. The Montessori Method emphasizes immersion in the natural world because of its powerful impact on a childās overall developmentāsupporting physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth.
We are super excited to once again partner with the Scouts, giving us the opportunity to use the nearby Boy Scout camp. Today, all of our students traveled to the camp, where they participated in team-building activities and enjoyed a day of learning and growing together in nature.
