Adopt a Classroom

Tags:  

This idea is a cool way that classroom teachers can get the parents of their students involved with raising funds for a playground. Teachers (at no cost) set up an account for their classroom. They then use this site to email the parents asking them for funding assistance for money directly for their child's class. The Adopt-a-Class is a "bank" for the donated money - no money is ever sent to the teachers rather they have a credit in the Adopt-a-Classroom account. The teachers then can "shop" with the vendors Adopt-a-Classroom partners with for the materials.

Prep Steps:
1. Visit the website adopt a classroom
2. Set up an account
3. Notify the parents, guardians, caretakers of the students by sending a memo/newsletter/etc. home about the fund raiser.
4. Watch as the donations pour in!

Materials Needed:
1. A computer

Helpful Hints:
A fun way to take this fund raiser to another level is with a friendly competition. Classrooms can compete to see which one can raise the most money to go toward the playground and or to purchase play equipment. The winning classroom would receive an awesome prize (can be determined by school staff, teachers, etc.)
