THIS WEEK AT ANGIER

Dear Angier Families,
WOW! Nothing like having break extended 2 extra days with more snow than we have seen in many winters combined! It was surely great to see all the kiddos back at school on Wednesday.
Many thanks to our Invention Invasion Committee – Katie Zeidman, Nisha Subramanian, and Yasaman Mirdamadi. What a delight to see so many creative inventions under one roof!
Thank you to our Woot Woot Cart crew this week – Abby Chud and Michelle Ahern! Our teachers feel the love!
Here’s what’s coming up this week and beyond:
- AN EVENING FOR ANGIER: Purchase your tickets for the PTO’s biggest fundraiser of the year: An Evening for Angier! On Saturday, March 28th Angier parents, caregivers, teachers, and staff are invited to step into “A Night in the Enchanted Garden” for an elegant evening soirée! Get your tickets here before they sell out, and don’t forget to book that babysitter (this event is adults only).
- SAVE THE DATE FOR MATH NIGHT: Calling all K–5 mathematicians—join us for a Math Night on March 25 from 6:30-7:30pm packed with hands-on games and activities for all grade levels. Whether your child loves counting, puzzles, shapes, or tricky challenges, there will be something to make every brain buzz. We’ll have dinner, prizes, and more! We look forward to seeing you on March 25!
- ANGIER WEAR: Angier Wear is again available for a limited time. In addition to the classic t-shirts and sweatshirts, you can get mugs, totes, shorts, blankets, and more! Link to purchase is here: Angier Wear Shop. Happy shopping!
- COMMUNITY SUPPORT: There are many spring opportunities to help stock the Freedge. Sign up here. Please reach out to the co-Presidents team or Andrea Fong with questions.
The Angier PTO team is always available if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions. Feel free to contact us whenever you need!

COMMUNITY NEWS
Waban Progressive Dinner – Saturday, March 21
Over 20 years ago, the Waban Improvement Society launched the Waban Progressive Dinner, which has become a beloved tradition for many in the community. If you have not participated in this event before, please consider it, as it is a great chance to catch up with old friends and meet new neighbors.
Here’s how it works – on the night of the event, Saturday, March 21, you will “progress” from your assigned appetizer home to your assigned dinner home. Each destination will have a new mix of people. Everyone will then converge in one location, the Waban Library Center, for the dessert course. The schedule of the night will be as follows: 6:00-7:00pm (Appetizers), 7:15-8:15pm (Dinner), and 8:30-9:30pm (Dessert).
Please use this Google Form to RSVP by February 20th and let us know if you can host an appetizer or dinner course, or if you prefer to be a guest that brings a side dish, dessert or bottle of wine to share. You can also note any food allergies or dietary restrictions on this RSVP Form. The event fee will be $25 per event attendee and will be billed to you electronically closer to the event date and will be waived for those who elect to host a dinner or appetizer course.
Please contact the event organizers, Robin Healey, Barbara Brustowicz or Sally DiLoreto via email with any questions. We hope you can join us!
