North Country Subaru Donates to Jackson Heights Elementary School

North Country Subaru has once again shown its support for the Jackson Heights Elementary School.  Fifteen teachers were awarded $500 each to purchase items for their classrooms; these items range from reading cards, to organization bins, to white boards. These generous donations were part of the North Country Subaru “Learning Love” event. Kindergarten teacher Christy Sphur said, “We were also able to get craft supplies and other learning tools that have enhanced math and ELA instruction.”

The structure of the donation allowed individual teachers to get material that was needed for specific grade levels. Liz Gross – a third grade teacher – was able to use the donation for multiplication and division tiles. These tiles help students practice their math more effectively. “The tiles are stackable and kids love calling out the answers,” she said.

The funding was also used for letter-building kits, climbing steps, and new magnetic boards. The Jackson Heights Elementary School was very thankful for the continued support of the children’s education.
