Adopt-A-School: Bess T. Shepherd Elementary

"Making A Difference In The Community!"

Why Adopt a School?
· To help the school meet the needs of their students,
· To make a difference in a child’s life,
· To get involved in our community.

5 Opportunities to Get Involved:

1. Volunteer – Spend time in the school assisting teachers, tutoring students, or helping with after-school programs.  Or, be a prayer partner who provides crucial prayer support to the school staff and students.

2. Donations – Every school needs more and better equipment and materials. You can arrange for technology donations, more books for the library, or even supplies for the teachers.

3. Site Events – School Spruce-Up Days are a great way for volunteers to contribute by cleaning up, painting, and other work to improve the school’s appearance. Also, participating in Prayer Walks around the campus is another powerful way to support the work going on inside the classrooms.

4. Appreciation Events – You can be involved in our annual Appreciation Luncheon for the teachers and staff of Bess T. Shepherd Elementary. Donate your time to help prepare the meal, help with decorations, setup and tear down, or simply “hang out” in order to get to know the teachers and staff a little better.

5. Backpack Project – We partner with The Nehemiah Project to provide new backpacks and supplies to each student at Bess T. Shepherd Elementary and other surrounding schools. This is a great way to continue building bridges to our community and make a big difference in a child's life.
