Adams receives Red Carpet Award for service
Adams Elementary received the Spring 2009 Red Carpet Award for Excellent Customer Service, presented by the Parent and Community Support Office. The school staff and students were surprised with the award on during a special assembly on April 22.   

Adams was recognized for different programs the school has in place to make guests feel welcome. The school started the Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) program, which consists of dads and other positive male role models volunteering in the school. Adams created a monthly “Coffee at the Curb” initiative to greet parents and let families know how much they are appreciated. The school also surveyed the families, allowing another opportunity to provide feedback about the school.

Adams was presented a check for $1,000 from Single Source, who partnered with the district on the award. The school also received a banner so visitors can see the school’s commitment to excellent customer service.

The Red Carpet Award is presented to a school each semester.
