Adams Family newsletter

We hope you all had a wonderful week and are enjoying the weekend. The appearance of the sun was a delightful surprise.

Students are almost complete with their MCAs for this year. 5th grade will be taking the science portion this week and there are a few make-ups to finish. Thank you to all of our students for working so hard during their testing sessions.

This past Thursday we welcomed the newest Redhawks to Adams during our K Registration night. Thank you to everyone who made this evening successful.

Have a wonderful week!

This year we are having a DIversity Day event to celebrate all students and families at our school. If you are interested in sharing your cultural background, we are still looking for more family volunteers. This could be traditional dress, dances, cultural holidays, etc. Contact Alexandria Vang with any questions (Alexandria.Vang@ahschools.us) Please fill out this form if you are interested: https://forms.gle/g1rga2WyHQwNZXAC7

Parent Advisory Council participation:

In order to continue to offer fun free events throughout the year, we'll need a little help from Adams families next year. We would love to have you join the board (we're fun, I promise!). You don't need any experience; you just have to want to make Adams even more awesome for our students and families.

If a board position sounds like too much to take on right now, we could use your help with some projects next year--social media management, community outreach coordination, outdoor classroom project management, grant writing, restaurant night coordination, and Family Fun night coordination. If any of those things sounds interesting at all, let us know.

Clothing Needed:

• Pants: sizes 5-14.
• Preferably athletic pants, sweats or stretchy leggings.
• XL shirts
• New underwear sizes 6-14

Teacher Appreciation:

Adams staff has been working hard all year to help our kids be successful. Let's show them our appreciation by stocking the lounge with all of their favorite things. Please order something off of this wishlist OR purchase it at a store & drop it off at the office for PAC by May 1.

Side note: we won't offer birthday grams next year, so if you'd like to send a bag o' goodies to a student or teacher, here's your chance:

PAC will deliver treats to students and staff to celebrate birthdays! Cost: $5 You can order or donate a birthday gram here. (https://my.cheddarup.com/c/2022-23-birthday-grams?cart=94ace1c1-1f50-4cb4-9ac3-298fee1f5acf%21%2142034918)

4/27: Family Paint & Sip Night:

Join us for a fun art night! We'll bring an artist to help lead you through making your own masterpiece & provide family friendly drinks. Cost: $5/individual OR $15/family. You must pre-register (so we have enough supplies) & there's limited seating for this event. Register here: https://adams-family-paint-sip-art-night-copy.cheddarup.com

It's National Volunteer Appreciation Week (April 16-22)! Let me take this opportunity to say thank you to our amazing volunteer team: you all have generously given 1,200 hours to Adams Elementary this year. It is because of you that we are able to have many exciting events, activities, happy students and supported staff.

The Adams Family is so grateful to have the best volunteers around!!

Here's how you can get involved:

We need more tutors!

Work with our Kindergartners to build their reading and math skills (2-hour training is provided and required). Or come in once a week to help our First Graders with simple reading and math activities.
