Adopters

Adopt-A-School is the commitment of time, energy, and expertise of a business or organization to an individual school. While the overall objectives of each partnership are flexible, a truly valuable partnership, like a friendship, does not happen through a single encounter. It must grow out of understanding and a mutual trust created through a climate of active involvement and interaction between the school and its adopter.

The lifeblood of the Adopt-A-School program is through our adopters who provide time resources, energy and expertise to a specific school. Through our program schools have the unique opportunity to work together with community partners to utilize the resources of the business community to strengthen and enrich the quality of education for students.

Why should your business become involved in Adopt-A-School? It is commonly known that a strong public school system is basic to the health and growth of a community. Quality schools attract people to live in the area. Adopt-A-School is a means for schools and businesses to achieve a shared end: to produce educated citizens that contribute to the economic and social health of the community. The program is flexible. Each partnership develops its own goals and activities based on the resources of the adopter and the needs of the schools.
