Adopt A Classroom

In fall 2021, +ME adopted the classrooms of 10 educators, bringing our relatable role models and My Story Matters Journals to all of their students. Thanks to the support of over 130 donors in our community, we raised funds to adopt 50 classrooms & 2,000 students at no cost to schools or teachers.

Adopt A Classroom 2022 is on gear to be as successful as last year!

Here are some inspiring testimonials from educators we worked with last year: 

“In my classroom, our voices, our dreams, our past and our future are elements we tap into in order to reflect, grow and aim to become the best versions of ourselves.”

-Cynthia Gotler, Dr. Julian Nava Learning Academy, Science / Yearbook / Advisory

“Students bring value to any classroom community when they can feel proud of their unique stories and backgrounds, and this development of confidence in their identities is important for academic success as much as emotional and social development.”

-Nataly Casillas, Gage Middle School, English / Advanced ELD / Literacy and Language
