Adum’s students participated in the district’s SLAM Showcase today. Students that represented Adum were winners of the Adum SLAM Showcase and had their digital and creative expressions on display. Students were invited to author visits, author panels, shop at the Oxford Exchange pop-up store, and the art and film festival. The students received swag bags with free books while at the SLAM Showcase. The new SSYRA lists will be announced on April 19th. Who will represent Adum next?
