LET'S WORK TOGETHER
As the elementary moves toward STEM Certification, we would like to increase our in-house field trip experiences for our students. Please complete this form letting us know If you have a recommendation for a community member or organization that could serve as an authentic audience, a support in the classroom, or a professional that would be willing to provide feedback in one of the topics listed in the left column, please complete the other fields in the corresponding row so that our teachers might be able to reach out to them to turn this into a reality.
COUNSELORS' CORNER
We had so much fun last month in our guidance lessons talking about what the students want to be when they grow up. The students had such great ideas. I was surprised by how many of the students had ideas of what they wanted to be. We discussed turning our interests and hobbies into careers, we talked about how it is ok to change your minds, and how it is ok to have several different ideas on careers. It seems so far off, but starting conversations now helps with understanding how to set goals, the importance of goals, and formulating a plan for the future.

FROM THE NURSE'S OFFICE
As many of you have heard we have passed our evaluation and Adams Central is now a
designated Project Adam Heart Safe School. This is a program we have been working on all
school year and the hard work paid off. This is just another step to assure the safety of our
students, employees and guests if a cardiac problem would happen.
Other news in the clinic: Make sure to review with your student not to share hats, combs or
hair accessories. This is one way lice can transfer onto another student. At this point we are
doing really well with keeping the lice away but it is still that time of year they like to hang
around.
