Fresh Produce Boxes, Meal Packs, and Activity Kits For Students Before Winter Break

Posted by Ashley LaRiviere on 12/18/2020

Schools across the district were busy throughout the day on December 16 as they distributed meal boxes, fresh produce, and activity kits for students in preparation for winter break.

The fresh produce boxes contained 8-12 different types of produce from local and neighboring state farms. A special thanks to our local farmers; McIlrath Family Farms, Pacific Fresh Produce, and the Washington State Department of Agriculture. We also appreciate the staff support from Crafted Eatery & Single Hill for helping pack the boxes. Thank you for partnering together to provide nutritious local produce for our community!

The Yakima Schools Foundation handed out student activity kits that shared information on how to practice #SafeCelebrations while having fun over winter break. The kits included coloring pages and mask making supplies. Students and/or parents can comment on any YSD #SafeCelebrations social media post with a picture of their coloring page or mask to be entered to win a prize! Winners will be announced on social media on January 4.

Adams Project 500 Helped 247 Kids Get Winter Clothes

Posted by Elissa Russell on 12/11/2020

Every year, Adams partners with The Salvation Army and Triumph Actuation to get winter clothes for our students. This process starts by gathering $75 donations for each student. Last year, we took 222 students to shop at Walmart, all in one morning. We knew that this year would have to be done differently. So, this year we fundraised for 247 students! We gathered each of the 247 students’ sizes and got that information to our volunteer shoppers. We partnered with Old Navy, who offered extra discounts and designated shopping times. The clothes were then packaged for each student, along with a pair of winter boots, generously donated by Wear A Big Smile Foundation, part of Washington Shoe Company.

On December 5th, families came to Adams for a drive thru pick up. Our event was made extra special with Christmas blowup decorations, the lighted Coca-Cola Truck, treats from Franz and Tree Top, and Christmas music. Our volunteers brought joy throughout the entire event, despite weather in the 20s.

The amount of fundraising that came from Adams’ staff and their families and friends was record setting! Triumph Actuation fundraised, packaged the clothing, was able to shop through the Triumph WINGS program, and had many volunteers on the day of the event. The La Salle High School girls basketball team fundraised, volunteered as shoppers, and helped distribute the clothing to students.

Our community came together to support this event and our Adams students in a year when the need is greater than ever before.

We would like to thank all of our donors and volunteers that made this event possible and made a difference in our students’ lives! Hopefully, next year we will be back to shopping in person with our kids!
