Adopt-a-Class TN is a 501(c)(3) educational
charity that supports local public elementary schools with volunteer services, supplies and
enrichment programs.
This website includes information about the many Adopt-a-Class programs. Please consult the menu to learn about our charity.
We are excited to announce the addition of a 4th school to our family! We will expand our enrichment programs to Philadelphia Elementary School in Loudon County for the 2025-26 school year. Leaders and volunteers are needed to develop and participate in our PES programs. Email adopt.a.class.tn@gmail.com if interested.
GET INVOLVED! New members are always welcome.
With many options for volunteer service, Adopt-a-Class
leaders help each member find their own best fit.
Donations of school supplies and monetary contributions help provide needed resources for our schools throughout the year. Our summer Back-to-School Donation Drive provides needed educational supplies when school starts in early August. Donation needs will be posted in July.
Our Spring 2025 Collection was a huge success. Supporters loved the cards, and fundraising goals were achieved. These cards will be available again in November along with an all new winter holiday card collection.
This section shows upcoming Adopt-a-Class events and school calendars. This information may be useful for volunteers and the general public.
"My school volunteer time is the high point of my week."
"The children are precious, and being a part of their education has been uniquely rewarding."
"I start my morning at PreK with a group hug. There is seriously no better way to start a day!"

As the founder and director of Adopt-a-Class TN, I wish to thank the many volunteers who have donated countless hours to the education of our local children. The generosity of our community has also provided year-round school supplies and help support many educational projects. Our efforts are very much appreciated by the faculty and students of our adopted schools. Adopt-a-Class began at one school with 14 volunteers. Five years later, over 100 volunteers serve 3 schools in many different ways, and we are a legally recognized charitable organization. It is my honor and privilege to be associated with my very special Adopt-a-Class family.
