Adopt-A-Classroom invites the community into the classroom in support of teachers and their students. By adopting a classroom, donors form partnerships with specific classrooms providing financial and moral support. The result is a meaningful contribution to education in which donors experience the impact of their efforts and celebrate in a classroom's success. There are teachers already registered from Gridley, and we would love to get the info to parents!! You can get more info at www.adoptaclassroom.org
