** URGENT NEED **
Adams Elementary is hosting a Kindness Retreat for our 5th graders. This is a high-energy day to give students tools to develop empathy and promote kindness.
Volunteers are needed (high school students AND adults) to lead a small group of 5th grade students as they process what they are learning and experiencing. Program Staff will train you to run your small group prior to the event.
Our students LOVE this event, and we are so excited to have it back at Adams again this year! Sign up today!
Date: Wednesday, March 22
Time: 9:30am - 3:30pm
Do you, a grandparent, or your high schooler want to help at Adams? Today is a great day to sign up!
