Subaru of Las Vegas recently made a significant impact on the local community by supporting 25 classrooms at Durango High School with a generous donation of $15,000 and school supply kits. This partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org was a part of the Subaru Loves Learning program, which aims to provide funding for teachers at high-needs schools across the country.
The donation made by Subaru of Las Vegas will benefit over 600 students at Durango High School by providing teachers with $500 worth of funding each to purchase essential supplies for the school year through the AdoptAClassroom.org Marketplace. This initiative is crucial in helping teachers bridge the gap for students who come from families that cannot afford school supplies.
According to AdoptAClassroom.org, a staggering 92 percent of teachers nationwide have students who lack essential school supplies. This often results in teachers having to spend an average of $860 out of their own pockets each year to ensure their classrooms are adequately equipped. The donation from Subaru of Las Vegas will alleviate some of this financial burden for teachers at Durango High School, allowing them to focus on providing a quality education for their students.
“We’re thrilled to support our local teachers and students through the Subaru Loves Learning initiative,” expressed Burton Hughes, the executive/general manager of Subaru of Las Vegas. “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 through various initiatives that support the needs of our neighbors.”
