Dick Hannah Subaru Surprises Local Teachers
As part of the Subaru Loves Learning® initiative in collaboration with AdoptAClassroom.org®, Dick Hannah Subaru is adopting classrooms at Harney Elementary School
Dick Hannah Subaru today partnered with AdoptAClassroom.org to surprise teachers at Harney Elementary School with a $5,000 donation to kick off the back-to-school season.
The donation was made as part of Subaru Loves Learning®, a national program championed by Subaru of America, Inc. that helps provide funding for teachers at high-needs schools across the country to purchase the school supplies and resources needed to help their students succeed. Dick Hannah Subaru’s donation will benefit more than 250 students by providing teachers with $500 worth of funding each to purchase supplies for the school year on the AdoptAClassroom.org Marketplace.
“We’re thrilled to support our local teachers and students through the Subaru Loves Learning® initiative," said Josh Kampmann, general manager of Dick Hannah Subaru. "Providing essential school supplies is just one way we give back to our community throughout the year, and we are committed to making a lasting impact year-round through various initiatives that support the needs of our neighbors.”
According to AdoptAClassroom.org, a staggering 92% of teachers nationwide have students from families who can't afford any school supplies. This leads to teachers spending an average of $860 out of their own pockets each year to equip their classrooms.
"We are incredibly grateful for the generous donation and ongoing support from Dick Hannah Subaru as part of their Subaru Loves Learning initiative," said Steve Stoll, principal at Harney Elementary School. “These essential supplies will make a significant impact on our students’ success this year. Our teachers, staff, and entire school community extend our heartfelt thanks for this support."
Dick Hannah Subaru’s partnership with Harney Elementary School is part of their year-round commitment to the community including additional partnerships with the Humane Society for Southwest Washington, Northwest Children’s Outreach, and many more.
As the largest corporate partner of AdoptAClassroom.org, Subaru and its retailers have supported more than 750,000 students nationwide through the Subaru Loves Learning initiative. This year, Dick Hannah Subaru joins over 630 participating retailers working with the organization to adopt classrooms in high-needs* schools.
