Sonic Foundation Doubles Teacher Donations, Loft Stores Join In

About this episode

Albemarle County Public Schools receives significant donations for Teacher Appreciation Week, with the SONIC Foundation matching contributions to support local teachers.

Albemarle County Public Schools is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week with a significant boost from DonorsChoose, a platform that has raised over $500,000 for local classrooms. The SONIC Foundation is matching every donation dollar for dollar, amplifying teachers projects. This partnership, initiated by the ACPS Family Council, allows teachers to request specific supplies, which are then shipped tax-free. With inflation and budget cuts, teachers are often left to fund their own classroom needs, making this initiative crucial. Eighteen projects are currently live, with one at Greer Elementary fully funded. More matching deals are expected throughout the week. Loft clothing stores are also contributing, allowing shoppers to round up purchases or donate directly to support local teachers.
