ew Octorara Primar y Learning Center principal Angela Regrut feels like she is right where she belongs. Having bounced back and forth from working in school administration to being a special education teacher, the New Jersey native feels like Octorara is the perfect place to combine her skills into one position. “I (had) been (at Radnor) for the last five years, working with the wonderful teachers and people there, and then decided that it was time to come back into administration,” she said. “Working with the teachers as their coach got me back into that flow again, and then this opportunity at Octorara popped up, and I jumped all over it.” Regrut brings decades of experience as an elementary and middle school teacher, instructional coach, multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) facilitator and special education teacher to Octorara, where she is beginning her role with the start of the new school year.

Freedom Life Church will host its annual Freedom 5K and Fall Festival on Saturday, Oct. 17, promising to bring runners, families and the community together for a morning of fun and meaningful impact. “Freedom Life Church definitely has a heart for the community, and we want to look for opportunities that we can bring people together and just have a good time, build relationships and give people a safe place where they can make memories and come together as a family,” said Angie Dearolf, the church’s communications director. Beginning at 9 a.m., the 11th annual Freedom 5K will take participants on an out-and-back road course through Christiana, offering runners and walkers an opportunity to enjoy the community while supporting a cause that reaches far beyond the finish line. Certain roads on the course will be closed, and fire police will be present at the event to assist with runner safety. The race will be held rain or shine, and proceeds will benefit All Things Possible and Project Rescue, two organizations working to combat human trafficking and bring hope, freedom, and restoration to those affected by exploitation. Timing and race results will be managed by Pretzel City Sports. “ We also want to think of how we can benefit beyond ourselves,” Dearolf said. “Human trafficking is something that our church has been made aware of, and we want to have an impact.
