Adopt-a-School: Connecting Community to Classrooms

Our partners create opportunities for schools throughout the district.

About Adopt-a-School

Adopting a school. It’s easy and rewarding.

How it works is simple: We match businesses and community organizations with schools to ensure mutually rewarding partnerships.  

What Schools Get

Mentors, materials and motivation for students.

When you adopt a school, you provide new experiences and opportunities for kids. You can serve as a tutor or lunch buddy, guest speak on a topic, provide job shadowing and so much more. 

What Partners Get

Engage your employees. Build a better community.

As an Adopt-a-School partner, you will actively engage with and invest in the community where you live and work. You will share your time, attention, talents and experiences with students, staff and teachers, contributing to vibrant school communities.

“Our partnership with Franklin Elementary School goes way beyond volunteering. M3 employees have become emotionally invested in the wellbeing and success of Franklin’s students, teachers and administrators.”

Mike Victorson, President & CEO, M3 Insurance
