Dear Adams 14 community,
May 8-12 is Teacher Appreciation Week, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside the amazing teachers in this district. I’ve seen firsthand how invested our educators in Adams 14 are in their students’ growth and well-being. Not only do they teach our children with patience and grace, but they also serve as important role models for the future leaders of our community. Please join me in celebrating our teachers this week and every day.
Last week was an incredible opportunity for the community to rally together for the first Adams 14 Soccer World Cup! The 22 teams played amazingly well, and I want to thank the volunteers and staff members who helped organize this event. We will soon have more photos and videos on our social media for everyone to see the great turnout.
Finally, congratulations to all of our seniors who are graduating this year! You should be very proud of yourselves for your hard work and commitment to finishing the school year. I look forward to spending the day with you and your loved ones on May 19 and 20.
At your service,
Superintendent Dr. Karla Loría
