The skyline looks a little different todayāour Angola Hornet is now proudly watching over the town from the water tower.
A huge thank you to retired Water Superintendent Tom Selman, who envisioned this project, as well as to the City of Angola for its continued support of our schools. We also extend our appreciation to Angola Engineering, MS4, and the many other departments that helped bring this vision to life.

Excitement filled the room as students entered, happily chatting about the books they had just read and the ones they were eager to pick up next. Questions like, āWhere are the pigeon books?ā and āCan you help me find a book about dinosaurs?ā rang out as students scattered through the shelves, placeholders in hand, searching for their next great read.
Itās clear just how special this space is. Once their books were selected, students lined up to check them out, excitedly sharing details about their new stories with the librarian. Afterward, they settled in for a few quiet moments of readingāsome sharing with friends, others getting lost in their books.
It is clear just how special this space is. So during School Library Appreciation Month, we celebrate our school libraries and our caring and knowledgeable librarians who lead them.
