AdoptAClassroom.org is a 501 (c)(3) organization that provides a platform to fund K-12 teachers and schools across the country, so they can purchase the supplies, materials, and tools needed to help their students learn and succeed. Together with participating Subaru retailers, the partnership will supply classrooms across the country with the school supplies vital to enhancing education for students nationwide.
“At Subaru, we are committed to ensuring that students have the resources they need to not only learn, but to bring the subjects to life, fostering real interest and intellectual growth in each young individual,” said Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Subaru of America, Inc. “We’re excited to work with AdoptAClassroom.org to make learning more accessible for all children and get them on the path to success.”
Inadequate classroom resources threaten the success of schools. In fact, 92 percent of classrooms have students whose families cannot afford to purchase any school supplies for their children. Research indicates that use of hands-on learning materials in the classroom has a direct and positive impact on student achievement and future success in school and in life. Through the partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, Subaru and its retailers will help schools nationwide secure the resources they deserve to succeed in school.
“We’re so grateful for our new partner, Subaru, and for their dedication to helping us advance equity in education,” said Ann Pifer, executive director of AdoptAClassroom.org. “It’s been such a challenging year for K-12 schools. Our partnership with Subaru comes at a time when educators can use more support than ever before to make sure their students thrive.”
