Fourth and 5th graders were given the opportunity to apply to be a library buddy. If selected, they would decorate display shelves, help keep the library organized, and serve as a reading advocate to other students.
The 2025 library buddies, all 4th graders, are pictured left to right: Laney Kohler, Hadley Robards, Landon Morton and Clara Isaac. They are decorating their display shelves in the library.

Important Dates for Seniors
The Adrian School District uses several media sources to share information with families and the community. We invite you to follow us on all of them!
New to the district this year is "Blackhawk Talk," a podcast for media students to broadcast and produce episodes about anything related to Blackhawks of all ages! With the grassroots efforts of the AHS Mixed Media class, Blackhawk Talk (a name they created) is off to a good start in its first year. Stay tuned for more episodes!

The district's internet is currently down therefore our phones are not working. We apologize for the inconvenience.
