Dear Adams Elementary Families,

As we enter this season of gratitude, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the many things we are thankful for here at Adams Elementary. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a supportive and caring community of families, students, and staff who work together to create a welcoming and thriving learning environment.

This holiday season, we want to express our heartfelt thanks for your ongoing partnership. Whether it’s attending school events, volunteering your time, or supporting your child’s learning at home, your dedication makes a profound difference in the lives of our students. We are truly grateful to work alongside such an engaged and inspiring parent community.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful reminder to pause, appreciate, and celebrate the connections we share. We encourage you to take time during the holiday to create joyful memories with your loved ones and to reflect on the blessings in your life.

Please remember that the Adams Elementary office will be closed from Wednesday, November 27, through Friday, November 29, for the Thanksgiving holiday. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, December 2.

On behalf of the entire Adams Elementary staff, we wish you a Thanksgiving filled with warmth, laughter, and love. Thank you for being such an integral part of our school community.

Dr. Erven

School Principal

On Monday, our Kindergarten families and students gathered for a memorable Thanksgiving feast that filled our hearts and bellies! It was a joy to see families enjoying a delicious meal with their little ones and celebrating the season of gratitude together. A special highlight of the day was the incredible performance by our kinder students, who charmed everyone with their enthusiasm and talent. It was truly a moment to treasure. Thank you to our amazing families for joining us and to our dedicated staff who worked tirelessly to make this event a success. Your efforts and support make our Adams Elementary community so special. Happy Thanksgiving to all! 🦃🍂

We are thrilled to recognize the classroom that achieved the best attendance last week! A big congratulations to Ms. Harvey's class for setting a fantastic example of commitment and teamwork. Your dedication to being at school every day is something to be proud of! Consistent attendance is incredibly important for elementary students. Every school day provides students with opportunities to learn, connect with their classmates, and build foundational skills that set them up for future success. When students attend regularly, they don’t miss out on important lessons, hands-on activities, and valuable classroom discussions. Attendance also fosters a sense of responsibility and helps students feel more connected to their school community. Thank you, Mrs. Martinez's class, for leading the way with your commitment to being here every day. Let’s keep up the great attendance, All-Stars!

Thank you to all our families who shared an interest in and/or participated in our Fall Enrichment Classes. Dance, Musical Theater, and Soccer were all such a success this season! As we look forward to our Spring Enrichment Classes beginning in January, we would like your feedback.

Please use the QR code or link on the flyer below to share your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions. We would also like to hear from your kids too! Please encourage them to fill out a separate form with their experience during Fall Enrichment. The last day to submit the feedback form is Friday, December 6th.

Thank you so much!
