Adopt-a-Class Holiday Greeting Cards
Adopt-a-Class TN creates and produces unique and very special greeting cards. Featuring art designs drawn by children at our three adopted schools, these cards are "created by kids for kids." Our first collection included a variety of versatile cards for daily use. Our holiday cards will soon be available!
Adopt-a-Class Holiday Cards include 12 unique designs created by 4 talented children at each of our 3 adopted schools. Chosen for creativity, artistic skill and diversity, this collection should be a winning fundraiser! All profits directly benefit Loudon, Steekee and Vonore Elementary Schools.
Congratulations to all the student artists and all students who submitted many wonderful designs. We are grateful for the assistance of faculty and our volunteer members. Happy Holidays!

Charity Baker
Adopt-a-Class served as the Charity Baker for the Tellico Village Ladies Luncheon on September 1, 2021. Over 20 members baked delicious desserts which were sold by members to attendees as a fundraiser. The generous women in the group also brought a great many school supplies and made monetary contributions. This fundraiser was fun for all and an overwhelming success! Adopt-a-Class is thrilled to accept the role of Charity Baker again for the September, 2022 meeting.
