This year we are celebrating the United Nations International Day of Women and Girls in Science (IDWGIS). The Girls Inc. of San Antonio’s RockIT into the Future Science Festival celebrates IDWGIS by:
- Increasing community awareness of STEM opportunities in San Antonio
- Providing girls and their families with hands-on experiments and STEM activities to increase interest in STEM careers
- Promoting STEM persistence by creating a platform for girls (and boys) to gain experience and explore STEM subjects
We can all do our part to unleash our world’s enormous untapped talent, starting with filling classrooms, laboratories, and boardrooms with women scientists!
Please join us!
Just a reminder that our Adams STEAM Night is happening today from 4:30 - 6! Make sure to stop by for free activities, food, and prizes! We will also be announcing the top science fair winners in each grade level.

Attention parents, no more worrying about throwing away your child's artwork. Publish it into a permanent archive of your child's artwork on this free kids online art museum. This app enables parents to take photos of their child's artwork and upload it to their child's online art gallery on Artsonia.com. Once the artwork is published on Artsonia, child artists can enter contests, family members can leave comments for the artist and order keepsakes with their child's artwork on it. Prior to using this app, parents must create an account at www.artsonia.com. Our wonderful art teacher, Ms. Tillman has our students using Artsonia in her classroom on a daily basis. Use the code: X88C9J8C to sign up at https://www.artsonia.com/connect/X88C9J8C, then download the app, Artsonia.

We hope everyone enjoyed today's snow day and look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Wednesday. Students and staff are invited to wear pajamas, and/or celebrate our 90th day of school by wearing 90s attire!

Uh oh! We did some spying on our 5th grade teachers during indoor recess. This is what they do...read (The History of Adams Elementary), organize their desks (how does she organize so many paper clips?!), make phone calls (reception may not be good), print science material (look at her planning ahead), online Christmas shopping (going to forward my Amazon wish list), and take a much needed nap (dreaming of snowy days in the forecast). This is NOT what they really do and no students were harmed while taking these photos.
Make sure that you stay warm this weekend! Remember, Monday is a holiday. As of now, we are scheduled to return to school on Tuesday. Students may wear pajamas, or warm sweats, and please remember to make sure they have jackets!
Attention parents, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be taking campus benchmark tests over the next two days (Jan. 15-16). This testing is really helpful for our students to understand and get to practice the procedures for the STAAR testing coming up in April. Also, the scores help our teachers know which topics they still need to cover in more depth. It is very important that they are here both days, on time. Please make sure that you are not checking them out early, as they do have all day to complete the testing. Thank you for your help in making sure our students are successful!
Another day of fun here at Adams! Our AP, Mrs. Lopez, was asked to join a few students for lunch, and our counselor, Ms. Penn, shared a story with another group of kids. Plus, all of our 5th grade students received a visit from some of the middle school elective teachers to talk about some of the awesome classes they can sign up for next year.
Looking for something fun to do over spring break? The Cub Scouts are hosting a Spring Break Camp for grades 1st-5th on March 10th and 11th. The cost for students is $25, however, there are scholarships available. Parents are also invited to join for free (parents are required for 1st grade students). Sign up at https://mycouncil.alamoareabsa.org/Event/Scoutreach-Scouting-in-School. Registration is due by January 15th, so don't wait! For more information, call 210-296-7611.

We just received some great news! Two of our Adams students won 1st and 3rd in their division for the SAFD Fire Safety poster contest! Congratulations to Elena Sarratos and Jayleen Mata! The students will each receive a trophy from the fire department at a special awards ceremony. Also, thank you to Ms. Tillman for working with our students to get them entered into the contest. Way to go Wolves!
@HarlandaleISD
On Friday, January 10th, we're expecting another chilly day. Come to school in your favorite pajamas or sweats!
Even though it is cold and rainy, our 1st graders are still finding ways to enjoy indoor recess!
@HarlandaleISD
In honor of law-enforcement appreciation day, we want to give a big shout out to Officer Vargas. Every day we can come to school knowing that he is here to keep us safe. Thank you Officer V!
@HarlandaleISD
