A huge thank you to all the families who have sent in classroom supplies, playground toys, extra snacks and tissue boxes! Also thank you to Stefanie (Tristan's mom), Shawna (Savannah's mom) & Christina (Nick's mom) who have been and will continue to be coming in weekly during Math to help out. Thank you also to Tristan's mom for stuffing our Wednesday Envelopes each week, and to Nick's mom & Mahir's mom for helping out weekly in the library. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful parent involvement at Angell.
