Several new elementary school teachers in Baton Rouge are adopted each year
and provided financial support to purchase start-up materials and supplies
for their classrooms. Since
1997, a total of
392
new teachers have received over
$140,000
in gift certificates to School
Aids.
This year promises to be the best year ever. Teachers complete
applications for
Adopt-A-Teacher
funding; a panel of judges from throughout the community reviews the
applications as part of the selection and allocation process. Presentations
to the newest group of teachers will be made at a meeting of the
East Baton Rouge Parish School Board. In addition to the Exchange Club
providing substantial funding, this project has been successful as a result
of the generous support of other local organizations, businesses and
individuals.
