Every year, Adams 14 bus drivers travel thousands of miles, safely transporting thousands of students. Adams 14 cafeterias serve thousands of nutritional meals. Adams 14 secretaries greet thousands of students and families with a smile. Adams 14 grounds employees beautify the many schools and buildings in the District. Adams 14 paraprofessionals help teach our students critical skills and Adams 14 building engineers keep schools safe and clean.

October is the month when Adams 14 officially recognizes each of these employee groups for their commitment to the students in our schools.

Colorado Classified Employees Week, Oct. 12 to 18: Governor Bill Ritter proclaimed Classified School Employees Week to recognize the essential services performed by classified employees like daily cleaning and maintenance, safe transportation, school food services and other tasks that benefit children. The proclamation salutes classified employees for "the valuable services they provide to Colorado students and communities." Adams 14 joins Governor Ritter in honoring our classified employees.

National School Lunch Week, Oct. 13 to 17: Signed into law by President Harry Truman in 1946, the National School Lunch Program provides nutritionally balanced low-cost and free meals to students. According to the "State of School Nutrition 2007" report, school nutrition programs have introduced students to more fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats, whole grains and low-fat and reduced sugar food varieties. Adams 14 salutes its many Nutrition Services staff for the healthy food choices they provide to students in our schools.

National School Bus Safety Week, Oct. 20 to 24: During this week, Adams 14 wishes to call attention to the importance of safety in transporting students. Daily, Adams 14 bus drivers safely transport thousands of students. We ask the community for cooperation in helping us to maintain our excellent safety record. Our bus drivers are doing a great job, and they need the cooperation of other motorists to ensure that the roads around Adams 14 remain safe. When you see flashing lights on our buses or the red "STOP" sign, please stop to make the streets safe for students who are entering or exiting the bus.

"Our classified employees should be very proud of the excellent work they are doing in Adams 14," says Sue Chandler, superintendent. "The district would not function without the critical services these employees provide. They truly are making a difference in students' lives."

Adams 14 classified employees play an important role in fulfilling the district's mission to inspire, educate and empower every student to succeed in the 21st Century.Photo caption: Nutrition Services staff at Hanson PreK-8 School prepares healthy delicious meals for students each day.
