Help Us Get Our Books Back
All library books are due. Once students have returned all of their books, they will receive tickets for a chance to win prizes like reading bracelets, dragon bookmarks, a Yoda bobble head, books, and more! There is also a grand prize: Wild Rumpus bookstore $20.00 gift card. If books are lost, we’d really appreciate it if you pay what you are able to replace them. Our library loses thousands of dollars worth of books a year, and we are well below the recommended number of titles per student for an exemplary library collection. Overdue reminder slips have been given to students to help them find their books. Please check your email notices, too. If you have any questions, please contact library media specialist, julianne.ninteman@spps.org
Yearbooks for sale!
If you did not preorder a yearbook, they are for sale in the office (cash or check)
They will be distributed the week of June 3.
PTO Update
Host an Amity Intern!
Hello Adams Families!!!
We are looking for families to host our Amity interns for the next school year. So far Santiago and David, both from Colombia, have accepted positions at Adams for the 24-25 year and our hope is for more! Funded by the PTO, Amity Interns have always been a fabulous addition to our Adams community- these native Spanish speakers are assisting teachers in classrooms and enriching student learning by bringing different perspectives, cultures, and accents to share with the students and community.
We are actively recruiting a host family for Santiago.Santiago is passionate about education, sharing his customs and culture while learning about ours, and loves sports (especially basketball, soccer, and taekwondo!).
A few details about hosting an intern:
You have the option of hosting for either a half year or full school year.
The intern must have a private bedroom. Bathrooms are able to be shared.
Host families provide food and some transportation.
We are looking for families who are interested in warmly welcoming someone into their family life and activities.
Hosting an intern provides families with an amazing opportunity to share our community and culture, showcase our beautiful city, and learn about the cultures and customs of another country. If you are interested in hosting Santiago, or another intern, or would like more information, please contact us at adamsinterns@gmail.com.
Thanks!

School Supply Kits for Next School Year
Great News!!
We are once again offering the SchoolKidz supply kit program which
offers pre-packaged, school supply boxes filled with the exact items requested by your child’s teacher. Why fight the hassle of retail when there's a cost effective and convenient
way of purchasing your back-to-school supplies?
If you have questions, reach out to Holly from the PTO at losamigosdeadams@gmail.com
Treats for Teachers!
It's Friday... Time to sweeten the week!
Sign up to bring treats for the staff on Fridays and brighten everyone's day. Plan to bring a snack that will serve about 50 portions (25 donuts, cut in half, for instance). Treats are delivered to the office.
THANK YOU you to all the families for the wonderful treats throughout the school year!!!
