From Our Volunteer Services Coordinator

Adams Elementary has an amazing community of volunteers. If you're new around here (or a familiar face), please consider joining us in the upcoming school year! We've got a variety of opportunities to get involved, so you're sure to find something that fits your schedule and interests.

Research shows that the more parents partner with the school, the more successful their children will be. So why wait - sign up today!

P.S. Signing up does not commit you to anything. You will receive emails from me with ways to help as needs arise throughout the school year.
