Adams Parent Advisory Council (PAC)
10/1 Restaurant Night @ Dairy Queen @370 Northdale Blvd @4-8 p.m.
Each month a local restaurant partners with us by donating a portion of their proceeds to support programming at Adams. And, this is one you don't want to miss! You never know who you'll see serving up DQ desserts behind the counter, in a costume or at your table. Meet your new school friends and see which staff member can create the best DQ swirl of the evening.
- We are hosting an all-school event to unite the Adams learning community in a super fun way! Our students will participate in a fun run/walk in October to raise money to support programs at school.
We are interested in adding to our team to expand our ability to serve Adams students with these positions:
Outreach Coordinator: establish and organize with community partners
Treasurer: help us organize and track the finances of the PAC
If you or someone you know would be a good fit for any of these, please get them in contact with us OR help us get in contact with them.

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
I hope your family has been settling well into the school routine so far. Here at Adams, we have volunteers helping with lunch, helping with art projects, and getting involved with the Adams PAC. Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to help!
Coming soon:
Book Fair
This will be taking place on October 3rd & 7th during Fall Conferences. Volunteers will be assisting with checkout, keeping shelves tidy, and helping students choose their books. You can receive 1 free item for every shift you volunteer, so sign up now! Afternoon and evening hours are available.
Other Ways to Help:
From year-long opportunities like cutting laminate to special events like Picture Day this Thursday or the Fun Run on 10/21, you can always find a way to get involved at Adams Elementary and keep this community the amazing family that it is.
No one can do everything, but everyone can do something. Together we can change the world.
