Adopt-a-School, our program that makes it easy for local organizations and businesses to support individual Madison public schools, kicked off. Since then, we’ve had 100-plus program partners who have invested more than $5.5 million in financial and in-kind gifts, along with 100,000-plus volunteer hours. Group Health Cooperative and Leopold Elementary was the first Adopt-a-School partnership, and it remains active today.
