10/17/2018 Beautification CommitteeAs the temps (and leaves) are dropping, we have replaced summer plantings around the school with cold-tolerant mums and pumpkins. The Butterfly Garden will soon be weeded, trimmed, and mulched before the ground freezes. Also on the horizon is the creation of a Kindness Garden along the south side of the school. Plans are underway to add a few artistic touches that will add color to that area and encourage kind thoughts. In addition, a few bulbs will be planted there for some spring flowers.
If you are interested in helping or donating planting materials, please contact Sheila Hillier at [email protected]. 10/5/2018 Famous Artist Series – Fall This fall parent volunteers will be headed to the classroom to present a famous artist.

Keep an eye out in the main hallway for posters of famous artists' works on display for Adler Gators to see. Thanks in advance to all the presenters!
