District 742

(KNSI) – The District 742 Local Education & Activities Foundation has launched its annual Adopt-A-Classroom program to support local teachers and students.

Between now and September 30th, businesses, families, individuals, and community groups can adopt a classroom for a $250 tax-deductible donation. The program addresses the reality that teachers often spend hundreds of their own dollars on classroom supplies for students from preschool through high school.

LEAF assures donors that 100% of their donation goes directly to classroom needs – everything from science experiment kits and sheet music to food for classroom pets.

Since 2011, the program has contributed more than $365,000 to 1,460 classrooms throughout District 742.
