A back-to-school program will assist students in high-needs schools

 
POSTED ON Aug 15, 2024
 

Subaru of America, Inc. has announced that its Subaru Loves Learning program will help 750,000 students nationwide this year. 

In partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org for the fourth year, Subaru and over 630 retailers will provide vital supplies and resources to support teachers and students. 

As part of the 2024 program, Subaru will focus on supporting students in the Camden City School District by adopting all kindergarten to fifth-grade classrooms near its headquarters in Camden, NJ. 

This initiative will impact over 2,090 students and 122 classrooms across eight schools. 

According to AdoptAClassroom.org, 92% of teachers nationwide have students whose families cannot afford school supplies, leading to teachers spending an average of $860 annually to support their classrooms. 

Subaru and its retailers are working to assist students in high-needs schools by providing funding for teachers to purchase necessary supplies and resources. 

Additionally, many participating retailers will donate school supply kits containing materials requested by teachers.
