Miss Elizabeth from Carnegie Public Library in Angola has been on a grand tour of our elementary schools this week to share read alouds and the summer offerings available at the library. By Monday afternoon, she will have visited every elementary student in the district! Check your child's backpack for summer reading program information over the next few days. There are many ways to keep students learning at the library this summer.

What a perfect morning for Teacher Appreciation Week! We had beautiful sunny skies, and the Travelin' Tom's Coffee truck was at Angola High School to treat our amazing teachers and staff. Just a little something to say thank you for everything they do for our students and our community!

Say Thank you to our School Nurse today!!

If you looked toward the skies above Angola Middle School you may have wondered, “Is that a bird or a plane?” 8th Grade students dived into hands-on learning, building and launching their very own hot air balloons. This adventure challenged students to use engineering principles, problem-solving skill and teamwork. Under the guidance of science teachers Sarah Koch and Heidi Wilhelm, learning reached new heights, proving that science is not just educational, it's downright thrilling!

Over 30 Students were honored at the 2nd Induction Ceremony for Angola Middle School National Junior Honor Society last night. This is a huge honor, as these students have shown a strong commitment to academics and giving back to the community. They've been actively involved in making Angola better, from tutoring other students to working with Angola Parks and Rec to plant trees. I'm so proud of these students and their hard work! Congratulations to each and every one of them.

Music filled the auditorium at Angola High School earlier this week as the choir took the stage for their spring concert, performing for family and friends. Students from both the middle and high school choirs showcased their talents, creating a memorable experience for all. Proud parent Tara shared, “It was so awesome—they all did so great!” As the voices harmonized beautifully, so did their outfits, thanks to a generous donation from Farmer’s State Bank of Angola, which funded the purchase of the elegant frocks.
