Photo by Doreen Poreba<\/p>\n<p>As Martin County students return to school August 10, the Education Foundation of Martin County is inviting supporters to help equip local classrooms through three online programs that connect the community directly with teacher and student needs.<\/p>\n<p>Adopt-A-Class<\/p>\n<p>Through Adopt-A-Class, supporters can adopt classrooms or school programs online for $100 or more, helping teachers access needed resources without paying out of pocket. Classrooms and programs may be adopted more than once. The foundation\u2019s goal is to have every classroom adopted at least once this school year. To view available classrooms and programs, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.educationfoundationmc.org\/p\/251\/adopt-a-class\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fund-A-Project<\/p>\n<p>With Fund-A-Project, teachers post requests for specific classroom projects designed to support students\u2019 learning needs, giving donors a simple way to fund targeted educational experiences. To view teacher requests, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.educationfoundationmc.org\/p\/285\/fund-a-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Bulletin Board Listings<\/p>\n<p>Community members can respond to non-monetary classroom needs by offering volunteer time, donated materials, gently used equipment, subject matter expertise, advisory board support, books, magazines, shoe boxes, and other reusable supplies. Teachers can also post classroom requests, creating a direct exchange between the community and Martin County classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>To adopt a classroom, fund a project, respond to a classroom need, or learn more about the Education Foundation of Martin County, visit <a title=\"http:\/\/www.EducationFoundationMC.org\" href=\"http:\/\/www.educationfoundationmc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">educationfoundationmc.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lead sponsors of \u201cYour Classroom Connection\u201d online platforms Patty McAuley, Tami Karol, Kelley Decowski, Dr. Ajay Goyal, Lisa&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":363745,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[171,173,172],"class_list":["post-363744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-port-st-lucie","tag-port-st-lucie","tag-port-st-lucie-headlines","tag-port-st-lucie-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=363744"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363744\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/363745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=363744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=363744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
