Adams Family newsletter

Hello Redhawks,

Can you believe that October starts on Tuesday? September just flew by. Please join us at DQ on Tuesday evening for our Adams PAC sponsored restaurant night. It is always a great time.

Thursday is our first Fall conference night. If you haven't signed up for a session, please use the link below.

Our Fun Run registration is open. Our PAC group supports this event and proceeds go right back to Adams. Each year gets bigger and bigger so let's continue the trend!

Just a friendly reminder that students do not have school on Friday or next Monday. These are PD days for staff.

Let's have a great week!

  Fun Run Registration is Open!

  In an effort to build community, raise funds and have fun, we are hosting a Redhawk Rainbow Run! Kids love this event and you are more than welcome to come and cheer in the crowd or volunteer at the event. If we meet our fundraising goal this fall, we promise we won't bug you about another fundraiser in the spring. So, this week, please register your student at mybooster.com and share on your social media accounts.

  
  

  
  

  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.
