Principal’s Message
Addams Families,
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! It has been another fantastic 2 weeks at Addams highlighted by our District 54 Choir Retreat, Dual Language Graduations, Track and Field Conference Meet Championships, Talent Shows, and Graduation Practice. I am so proud of all of our students for their accomplishments this year and want to wish our 8th grade students the best as they finished their last day at Addams Junior High! We look forward to 8th Grade Graduation at Schaumburg High School on Tuesday, May 27 at 5:30 pm. We are also looking forward to finishing our final week with 7th graders on Thursday, May 29th. The weather forecast is looking great for a fun Field Day.
On behalf of the Addams staff, thank you to all members of our community for partnering with us to ensure student success!
Have a fantastic 3 day weekend!
Regards,
Bill Musselman Tricia Leong
Principal Assistant Principal
