We want to inform you of a medical emergency at Ryan Park Elementary School today. At 8:05 AM, the school went into a “Hold” to keep the hallways clear so that medical personnel could respond quickly and safely. The incident was resolved with the cooperation of our staff and students and the quick action of our first responders. Again, we want to thank our staff, students, and first responders for their help in caring for our students by keeping everyone calm and safe and allowing for a quick response.

The Angola High school will be holding auditons for this year play "The One-Act Play That Goes Wrong" By Henry Sheilds, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Lewis.

Principal, Mr. Stellhorn came to visit all Kindergarten classrooms at Hendry Park. He was our Friend of the Day and shared his favorite things with the students! The students listened, interviewed, drew a picture and wrote his name. We turned our writings into a book for him :)

The high school entrepreneur class lead by Michelle Davis spent time today on the "Pipe Cleaner Challenge". The goal was to build the tallest tower. Students were challenged to work in a group to plan and then build the tower. Along the way just like in the business world there were obstacles in the way. They had to deal with budget cuts (could only use one arm) and relocation to another country (could not speak to each other). It was a great interactive learning experience for all.

The ELC hosted a pancake with pals event this morning. The breakfast allowed parents to mingle and the students to show off some of the skills they have learned.

Parents and Fans, We are excited to open the 2024 football season tomorrow night. We will be hosting DeKalb with a 7 PM kickoff. Starting at 4:30, Cameron Hospital is bringing their Kid Fun Zone and the Trine National Champion Men's Basketball team will be around to greet and sign autographs. The Hornet team store in the new facility will be open so you can grab your new gear. Stadium gates open at 5:30. We are very excited that our new parking lot is fully open! There are many more handicap spots available for those needing this accessibility. For those still opting to park in front of the middle school, please plan to enter the stadium via the tennis courts and the east ticket gate.

Today at Pleasant Lake Montessori, students in Upper and Lower Elementary gathered in the gym and our teachers taught the First Great Lesson! Students were SO engaged, interested, and inquisitive.

Mr. Hammond's multimedia class has been very busy. One of the projects they do is a weekly news show called High Five News.

Check out the amazing stuff our students are doing.

CHECK OUT THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE NEXT BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS AT AHS! We are thrilled to announce that CELL has been awarded a grant from the Don Wood Foundation to expand our successful Indiana Pathways to Careers and Postsecondary (P-CAP) program to three new high schools in northeast Indiana. #PCAP is designed to reach underserved students who possess high potential but are disengaged in school and are at risk of dropping out. By transforming their pathways, P-CAP prepares students for high-skill, in-demand industry careers in the local economy in sectors like advanced manufacturing. P-CAP students experience hands-on, project-based learning, integrated core classes with smaller class sizes, and connections with industry partners through workplace learning challenges.
