We bet you’re gearing up for Back-to-School already — at Adopt-A-Classroom, we certainly are! There are a number of great partnerships that we’re involved with across the country. It’s our hope that these programs create awareness and encourage people to support your classrooms by making donations at AdoptAClassroom.org. When we’re able to announce details about these partnerships, we’ll share them with you at our blog.
For now, we found two contests that you may want to look at. They are not associated with Adopt-A-Classroom in any way, but we thought they might of interest:
1. REALLY GOOD STUFF’s Classroom Makeover Contest
Teachers that are redecorating their classroom for the new school year have a chance to win a $100 shopping spree from Really Good Stuff. They’re in search of the most creative classroom ‘makeover’.
We know that so many teachers often spend their own money to turn their classroom into a vibrant place of learning. So in addition to using Adopt-A-Classroom as a resource to raise money for classroom supplies, this is a neat opportunity to win a little extra money.
To participate, you’ll have to post 2 photos (1 before and 1 after of your classroom) or a video to the Really Good Stuff Facebook page. You can find all the contest rules here: http://blog.reallygoodstuff.com/?p=3871. The contest ends August 29, 2010.
2. BOUNTY’s Art Classroom Makeover
Bounty is hosting a “Make a Clean Difference” contest that will award one school with an art classroom makeover worth$25,000 designed by a celebrity design team.
10 finalists will also be awarded $5,000 grant to use toward transforming their school art rooms, along with a visit from their “Make-A-Messterpiece” activity bus, an experiential art studio on wheels.
You can go to Facebook.com/Bounty for more details. Nominations will be accepted until August 9, 2010.
