Ravenswood teachers make a difference every day for the students who need them most. By sponsoring classroom supplies for one school year, you can help a teacher feel supported by our community, so they can focus on their students.

What is adopt-a-classroom?

Adopt-a-Classroom pairs community members one-to-one with a TK-8 teacher in the Ravenswood City School District, serving East Palo Alto and eastern Menlo Park. For one school year, you provide classroom supplies and support your teacher in whatever way fits your schedule. You can also adopt a classroom with friends, family, or coworkers.
