🍎 Adopt a Classroom. Make a Difference.

The school year is underway, and St. Cloud Area School District 742 teachers are already creating classrooms where students can learn, grow, and belong. You can help give them the resources to make that happen!

With a $250 donation to LEAF’s Adopt a Classroom program, you can support a District 742 classroom with supplies, learning materials, creative projects, and other resources that might otherwise come out of a teacher’s own pocket.

❤️ Choose a specific teacher, school, or classroom
❤️ Or let LEAF match you with a classroom in need
❤️ 100% of your $250 donation goes directly to the classroom

Ready to adopt a classroom? Sign up is easy on our website: https://leaf742.org/adopt-a-classroom/
