Adams Family newsletter

November 14 - November 18

It was another wonderful week at Adams. We had an amazing Veterans Day program. Thank you to family members that joined us for the celebration.

Please mark your calendars for this Thursday, November 17. It is our Fall Extravaganza. There will be activities, games, pizza and maybe even ice cream! The event runs from 5-7. All families are welcome to attend.

Families, as the weather starts to get colder, please make sure that students come to school with winter gear. Students go out for recess everyday unless it is colder than 0 degrees or minus 10 windchill. If your family needs winter gear, our school social worker is a great resource.

Enjoy your weekend and stay warm!
