3/15 Order Free Trees

Because of our partnership with the MN Department of Natural Resources, we have an opportunity to order free saplings from Neighborhood Forest. Trees are shipped and should arrive @ Adams in time for Earth Day (April 22nd). Then you can plant them and watch them grow as your kids grow! Go here to register for your free trees: https://www.neighborhoodforest.org/parent-registration/?school=46054

"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."
