Dear Adams' Fam!!

Before school started, all certified staff worked on their "why." Your why - the reason you get up and do this work is so important and it is so important that your why is clear to you and those around you. Sometimes we need reminding of our reason for being here. PLEASE make sure you insert your why on the page within these google slides. We will be printing these out in color for you and laminating them so we can put them on your doors with magnets. I'm so excited to read them as we walk through your door. 🚪

I'm seeing more and more of you get those success criteria 🎯going in your classrooms and it is amazing how clear it makes learning for students when they know exactly what they need to do in order to be successful. Thank you for that extra effort to make learning more accessible. 📝

Spending more time in your classrooms is really the bright spot of my day 🌞 - so thank you for all of the work you're putting into making learning fun and meaningful in your classrooms💕. I am hoping and praying that we can keep it in the classrooms and that we do not have to go back to online learning in any of our classes. Encourage your students to wear masks when inside your class and I know this will help. Unfortunately we have had to send out notices that state that we are having an outbreak by definition and this is causing some parents to keep their child home. We know that our students need in-person learning, so I appreciate everyone's efforts to keep them healthy as much as we can.😷

Adams team - We got this!

Thank you,

Stephanie 🐯🧡

If you haven't done this yet - I'm going to start calling you about it! 👀☎

• FREE Supplies for Teachers!!!!!

Feed the Children is a large international agency that provides school supplies and food security. Last year our district was supported by this agency, providing food and hygiene items for our high school students.

This year Feed the Children has a new facility in Chandler and would like to support Mesa Public Schools classroom teachers with school supplies for free.

When: Your school’s teacher “shop” day is Wednesday, August 25^th.

Who can participate: Any classroom teacher who registers to attend on August 25^th. Teachers from your school can register from available times from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Where:

Feed the Children

3475 S. McQueen

Chandler, Az 85268

How it works: Classroom teachers from your school use the attached directions for registering. On the day of the “shop” teachers show up to the Chandler facility on their scheduled time. Each teacher will be given a large shopping bag and can fill it with free resources for their classroom. Supplies vary from corporate donations across the United States.

So do we have anyone willing to coordinate the garden club? We would love to have our students supporting the gardens' growth but of course we need somebody in charge of that! Or several people could help with that job! Let me know if that is something you'd like to do!

I know I can get some donations from Lowe's if we can get this going - I was hoping to set up a Saturday where we have parents come in to help - I'd love to do after school but it is just to dang hot to do that right now.
