| Volunteer Needs |
Reflections Art Contest
The Reflections Art contest begins this month and is all online. The team needs help with:
- Organizing teachers for art judging
- Communicating to parents about the art contest & get discussions going about it on Facebook
- Uploading our digital art show
This great volunteer opportunity can be done at home around your schedule. Looking ahead to 2021, we're looking for someone to shadow this year and take over as Chairperson for the contest next fall.
Box Tops Fundraising
Box Tops are all online now through the app, but this fundraiser still needs volunteer help! If you are tech savvy and want to be a part of a key Adams fundraising method - this is the job for you!
Ballard Market Fundraising
Ballard Market will donate a portion of your receipt directly to Adams! Just be sure to get the receipt to Nicole's house (via drop off or mail) at:
7107 32nd Ave NW
Seattle, WA 98117
Since we won't be holding an auction this year, this fundraising effort could really add up!
