Ms. Everett’s kindergarten class wrapped up their 3D Shape Unit in the sweetest way! Families sent in a variety of fun 3D snacks, and the kids had a blast identifying, sorting, and graphing all the different shapes. Of course, the best part was getting to taste their work at the end. Hands-on learning + a little treat = the perfect way to celebrate what they learned!

It’s School Social Worker Week, and we are so grateful for ours! School social workers play a vital role in supporting:
Students — helping them navigate challenges, build coping skills, and access resources that support their well‑being and success.
Staff — offering guidance, collaboration, and insight to help create a positive, supportive learning environment.
Families & Community — connecting them with services, strengthening communication, and ensuring every child has what they need to thrive.
We thank Mrs. Megan Ross-Espinosa for the work and dedication she has shown for our students at Adams Central. We also want to thank Miss Maddy DeRoo for her work with the S.O.A.R program and as an intern while completing her Master's.
