North Adams Public Schools Seeks Volunteers

Print Story | Email Story
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — North Adams Public Schools is establishing a roster of volunteers for a variety of opportunities in grades PK-12.
 
Volunteer opportunities will vary with regard to time commitment and age groups of students.
 
Opportunities can be tailored to meet all interests of all parties and will consist of both short-term and longer-term commitments. 
 
Opportunities that are low commitment but high-impact arise all the time and are a great fit for those that are only available for only a few hours a year.
 
Volunteer opportunities may include helping students with projects, reading to classes, sharing experiences, sitting on panels, assisting with upcoming events, or other needs to help students thrive.
 
Interested individuals can fill out the volunteer form located on the North Adams Public Schools' website at www.napsk12.org/VolunteerSignUp. The form will help North Adams Public School match opportunities with areas of interest and expertise.
 
Approval to volunteer is contingent upon passing a CORI check and potentially a SORI check. A member of North Adams Public Schools will reach out to those on the volunteer roster as opportunities that meet specific interests and needs arise.
 
Questions about the form or volunteering with North Adams Public Schools can be emailed to familysupports@napsk12.org.

Two-Car Crash Closes Church Street

Staff Reports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A collision between two vehicles shut down a section of Church Street on Wednesday afternoon, followed shortly afterward by a three-car accident near Specialty Minerals in Adams. 
 
The North Adams crash occurred shortly after 3:30 p.m. when a GMC Denali pickup apparently collided with a Subaru Crosstrek attempting to exit from south driveway at Southview Cemetery. 
 
The truck incurred extensive front end damage and the Crosstrek damage on the front driver's side. Scanner reports initially referred to someone having a broken arm but no one was taken to the hospital. 
 
Church Street was closed between Drury High School's entrance and the skating rink for nearly an hour until tow trucks could take the vehicles away. Drivers either turned around or cut through Southview Cemetery and the skating rink parking lot. 
 
Traffic was also disrupted by the accident on the railroad tracks in Adams. No one was apparently injured in that collision either.
