Spring Clubs at Adams Elementary have been a HUGE success. We were able to provide 227 students with unique, engaging, and exciting club experiences. Throughout March and April, children had so many wonderful opportunities to explore their interests and try something new.\r\n\r\nWe saw budding movers, artists, and musicians shine in Bracelet Making, Michelangelo, Line Dancing, and Ukulele Clubs. Students showcased their thinking and problem-solving skills in Chess, Trivia, and Game Show Clubs, while our aspiring actors impressed us in Improv Club. Minds and bodies were stretched and strengthened in Yoga and Running Clubs. In Sensory Sensations and Cooking Clubs, children explored the world in new ways through touch, smell, and taste. Bird Watching and Crafting Clubs offered a perfect space for quiet, reflective students to discover thoughtful new hobbies.\r\n\r\nEvery club brought joy and excitement, and together they created a meaningful opportunity to build community and spread happiness throughout our school.\r\n\r\nNone of this would have been possible without your generous support. We are truly grateful for your donation. Your kindness made a difference in the life of a bright and deserving child during this special time of growth and discovery. Thank you for helping make our school such a wonderful place to learn, grow, and belong.","fullyFundedDate":1769198062745,"projectUrl":"project/our-elementary-spring-clubs-2026/9965465/","projectTitle":"Adams Elementary Spring Clubs 2026","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bowling","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8109985_orig.png?crop=377,377,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1666124368426","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8109985"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_1793","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":658,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":17,"percentWhite":38,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":3,"gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.3:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":73.1,"schoolId":1793,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Adams Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Adams Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/wake-county-public-school-system/adams-elementary-school/1793"}
