Moveathon Shirt Winner

The 2026 Moveathon T Shirt Contest Winner has been selected. Amali in Ms. Paulk’s 4th/5th grade split class is this year’s winner. There were so many wonderful, creative submissions this year that it was difficult to narrow it down. In the end, Amali’s use of bright, bold colors and her artistic concept of peace and love for kids around the world captured the Adams Moveathon mission and set her submission apart. Congratulations, Amali!

All students will receive a shirt paid for by the PTA, handed out the day of the event!

New this year: grown-ups planning to attend or volunteer at Moveathon may buy a shirt if you'd like to wear one! These shirts will also be handed out on the day of the event. You can purchase one for $15 through PayPal

Moveathon Business Sponsors Needed

On Friday, May 15th, the Adams PTA will host its 5th all-school “Moveathon” FUNdraiser! We are looking for businesses to sponsor the Moveathon by helping underwrite the cost of the event t-shirts. Any business who is a sponsor will have their business logo featured on the back of the t-shirt, on a banner, and on social media. Please contact ptatreasurer@adamselementary.org  with any questions or if you know a business that would like to sponsor!

Special PTA budget meeting

THANK YOU to everyone who filled out the PTA's survey about our arts and music specialist for next year. The PTA is working closely with Principal Sohn on ways we can try to retain both specialists. Stay tuned for a community budget meeting to review options after Spring Break.

All members of our Adams community are invited to attend and join in the discussion, but only current PTA members are eligible to vote on the final budget. Sign up HERE to become a member of the PTA.
