COMMUNITY SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS

The community is the core of our success in supporting Northampton County Schools. The Community School Partnership Program, our most direct community driven funding channel includes Adopt-a-Classroom and Fund-a-Project. This program provided much needed support to our school system. Thanks to the community the following initiatives have helped our schools to thrive.

ADOPT-A-CLASS

Our Adopt-a-Class program allows parents, grandparents, community residents and businesses to adopt specific classrooms online.

25 CLASSROOMS WERE ADOPTED THIS YEAR BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.

$3,475 total was provided directly to teachers for use in their classroom as needed. The flexibility of these grants make them a favorite of teachers and a very efficient way to meet immediate needs. You can choose any teacher or classroom to adopt directly on the NCEF website.

Ms. Everage’s Science class was adopted by Peach Street Books!

FUND-A-PROJECT

Using this program, teachers request funds for specific projects. Community members, including families, individuals and businesses help fulfill their individual classroom needs. Here, you can view a virtual wish list that enables you to meet a classroom need with a few clicks and keystrokes.
