John Adams Middle School

September 17-23, 2023 is Community School Site Facilitator Appreciation Week! We appreciate our Community School facilitators who diligently serve our students and families. So what is a community school?

Last night, Thursday, September 14, we had our beginning of the year, September Open House. Our Community School room operated a Food Drive for any of our families in need. If you need any help or resources, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mr. McRae at 507-328-5700.

SRO, Officer Al was presenting to the 8th grade class on Social Media Sense. He is such a great asset to our building. We would hate to lose him, his expertise, and the relationships he builds with students and families. Powerful message.

We're celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month! From September 15 to October 15, we come together to honor and celebrate the rich cultural contributions of Hispanic and Latinx communities.

Our first Breakfast of Champions is right around the corner. Please come and join us as this is always a great family activity. Even is you cannot join your student, any student from John Adams can still attend. Tuesday, September 26 @ John Adams Cafeteria. 7:15 Breakfast begins serving 7:30-7:50 Champion Message

Interested in after school activities at John Adams through Community Education, please see Ms. Brunskill. Great opportunities and lots of fun!

Tomorrow, Thursday, September 14 from 5:30 - 7:00 pm John Adams Middle School is hosting an Open House. We would love to see all our students bring their parents/guardians, show them around your school, meet teachers, principals, clerical, and others. Can't wait to see you!
