Adopt A Classroom and join Mermaid Cottages in funding and supporting Educators! It is estimated that more than 15 million children don’t have the resources they need to succeed in school and that teachers spend more than $1.6 billion a year stocking their classrooms due to a lack of funding in schools. Supporting K-12th grade students, including public, private, and charter school classrooms, AdoptAClassroom.org makes it easy for donors to provide funding and support to classrooms throughout America. Teachers register their classrooms and needs online; donors discover classrooms through simple search tools and make targeted contributions. As an award-winning 501(c)(3) non-profit, they can connect donors with every classroom in the country. Since founded in 1998, AdoptAClassroom.org has connected thousands of donors with over 148,000 classrooms. They have raised over $28 million and estimate that they have improved the learning environment for over 2 million children. AdoptAClassroom.org is a national nonprofit that receives operational support from corporate sponsors, individuals who generously donate to our Annual Fund, and contributions from vendors on our site.

“Dear Mermaid Cottages Team,
I am beyond grateful and elated to express my deepest thanks for your incredibly generous donation of $300 to my classroom through AdoptAClassroom.org. Your support means the world to me as I embark on a new journey transitioning from teaching kindergarten for the past 12 years to teaching first grade at Jacob G. Smith Elementary School in Savannah, Georgia.
Your unexpected and thoughtful contribution will have a profound impact on my first-grade students, not only for this school year but for many years to come. With your help, I will be able to stock my new classroom with a variety of essential teaching and learning materials, ensuring that my students have access to the resources they need to thrive academically.
I am truly blessed to have received such a surprising show of support from Mermaid Cottages. Your generosity will make a significant difference in the lives of my students and will contribute to creating a positive and enriching learning environment for them.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support. I cannot wait to utilize this donation to purchase much-needed resources that are appropriate for my new grade level. Your contribution will make a lasting impact on the education and growth of my students.”

With heartfelt gratitude,
Janna K.
