Happy Veteran's Day! No School tomorrow, 11/11/11!

Thanksgiving Food Drive: We are beginning our annual collection of non-perishable goods to be donated to the Tree of Life food pantry through November 16. The boxes are located in the morning meeting room. If you have any questions, please contact the office or Ms. Lameyer if you have any questions.

News from Nurse Nancy: Flu season is here and can be most prevented by good hand washing and covering coughs. It is always best to cough into a tissue or into your sleeve, not your and hand. Always remember to wash your hands after for at least 20 seconds. Also you may remind parents not to send kids to school if they are sick and to stay home for 24 hours after they are fever free.

Dribble Kids will begin on Wednesday, Nov 30. Students in grades K-4 are invited to attend. All first time participants MUST fill out a registration form prior to attending. Forms will be available at Adams School. The bus will drop students off at MMA and parents can pick students up. The program will run from 2:15 to 3:15. Dribble Kids is an opportunity for children to learn the fundamental skills of basketball in a non-competitive setting. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Katrina Dagan at 326-2484.

Adams School Spirit! Sweatshirt/Tshirt order forms will be going home next week.
