11/21: Family Night @ Zero Gravity @2292 Woodale Dr; Mounds View from 5-8 p.m.
We partnered with Zero Gravity, a locally-owned, family-owned adventure park six miles from school. They have jumping services, an arcade, a ninja rope course and laser tag. For our family fun night, they’ll offer jump passes for $9.99; all funds from ticket purchases will be donated back to creating more family events for Adams families. More information to come about how to purchase advance tickets.
From the Desk of our School Social Worker
"Metro by T-Mobile is committed to bridging the digital divide for students in kindergarten through 12th grade across the country, through their Project 10Million initiative. This year, through our partnership with Metro by T-Mobile, and as our National Internet Connectivity sponsor, we are supporting teachers and their classroom by sharing Project 10Million with them. Through the program, qualifying students receive FREE mobile hotspots that provide FREE internet access in the classroom and at home for FIVE years.
The Digital Divide, defined as the gap that exists between those who have reliable internet access and devices and those with very limited access or none at all, impacts 1 in 4 students across the country. This equates to between 15 to 16 million students K-12 who aren’t able to access class during days of e-learning or for homework.
Through Metro by T-Mobile’s Project 10Million, students kindergarten through 12th grade can receive access through the click of a button—it’s that easy—and important."
From Our Volunteer Services Coordinator
Did you know that Thursday, 11/16 was National Parent Involvement Day?
We celebrate all of the parents, families, and community members who play a huge role in our students' lives, whether that be in school or at home. You are so appreciated, and we are thankful to have each and every one of you!
Speaking of involvement...
Join the Volunteer Team today! Practice the alphabet with our Kindergarten students, assist with Picture Re-take Day, nudge a high schooler to help with our Kindness Retreat, or even help in the workroom making copies or cutting shapes.
What you do matters. So thank you, sincerely, for being involved in our students'
